Re #26: You say:  "The CDA keeps getting passed because a lot of people
want it." This demonstrates the error in your logic. People want results
(protecting children from inappropriate sites). They do not necessarily
want the methods that politicians have chosen to achieve those results.
Part of the problem is that the technical aspects of this issue escape
both the general public and the average politician. Its interesting that
there has been almost no discussion of creating new "filterable"
appellations such as ".sex", even though this idea periodically gets
raised. If Grex truly wants to accomplish something, it would be to
educate the public and politicians about the technological alternatives
available to achieve results the public may desire, as well as a
clear-headed discussion of the technological and social implications of
the various alternatives.
