You won't -ever- have to worry about accessing sites you don't like. :P This is another attempt to legislate something that can be solved, or should be solved, with technology. After all, we have -all- seen how well the anti-UCE laws have worked. * cough * The last 5 years of politics, have set a record low, in my book. This law ranks right up there, with the law recently passed in one state, (in the past year, and, of course, a Red State) that declared same sex couples living together, instead of being married, as criminals, subject to a fine, and incarceration. Did someone spike the legislative punch bowl, or _what_ ? Umm, we have a longstanding law here in Michigan that defines *any* sex couples living together as criminals, and the legislature raised the fine from $300 to $1,000 a few years ago, in a 3 am lame duck session just before the Republican governor left and became the head lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
