Hi,

I cannot disagree any with the previous two posts.

I do believe that raising children is up to their parents. My own personal belief, after having raised two children, is that the ultimate responsibility for a kid's welfare is up to the parents.

I, personally, would not allow my children to have free access to the internet. I cannot, however, disagree with the way anyone else raises their children.

The neat thing about the internet is that it is like a 'living' thing that no one has been able to cage. I would sure like it to stay that way.

I think the answer to the original question, 'can't we ban porn...?', would have to be no. We do not have to look at it though.

As far as shady characters distributing porn under fake file names, I don't know. There are always people who are going to operate outside of existing laws. I doubt more laws will fix that. Downloading copyrighted material is illegal, I guess that would be the 'bad guy's' defence.
