Would you agree to: Nope, can't watch that XXX movie without first keying in your ID?
Of course! All decent Americans understand the need to monitor who watches this filthy smut. I was meeting last week with Secretary of Decency Falwell and the President. Dan proposed that we extend the National ID Number to a range of other services, including books and magazines. After Jerry, Dan, and I watched that filthy "Debbie Does Fort Meade" again, we were all very excited about stopping this trash. --Klaus! von Future Prime Time (P.S. If a family wants Junior to have no access to the Playboy Channel, they can damn well buy one of those parental lock-outs. Or whip him good for accessing the channel when they told him "nyet." Or whip her good (and hopefully get it on tape!) if she tunes into Oprah to hear about teens who married their transexual gym teachers. I don't want any stinking government type telling me I have to have an ID number! I'm sure Nathan Zooks is sincere, but, gadzooks, this reminds me of why the Republican Party is as much a threat to libery as the Clinton Gang is.) --Tim -- ..........................................................................
