Nowhere does the constitution grant congress power to meddle in

What are you smoking?

Its good to teach the kids to be safe but in reality they take what you say with a grain of salt.

The parents are the ones who should be the ones to learn how to use the internet safely and they should be teaching there kids. even that may not work since kids these days only care about the current state of there social events that sicurity has not place, in there mind that is.

when I was in school, videos were like putting kids in screen saver mode.

Kids should not be online at all.

The only way kids should be online is with parental supervision. Government can't protect my kids online and it should not use taxpayer's money to foster such a fiction. This is just more v-chip nonsense.
