Why don't we force cable companies to filter cable? For example by
requiring that viewers enter a credit card number before watching HBO
after 10pm. It isn't sufficient to rely on the vigilance of parents. My
Aunt and Uncle refused to subscribe to MTV, but that didn't stop my
cousins from going to their friends' houses. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO
PROTECT THE CHILDREN!
