We must protect the childern!
If we can have everyone who wants porn subscribe to the "don't censor me" 
program to admit they watch it, all the better! [Israel law passed to 
protect children]
Cisco and the religious elements pushed it.

Up until now, Israel had ZERO censorship.

I'm not an American, so I'm constantly amazed at an attitude that says
"Censorship? We don't do that in freedom-loving America", while at the
same time having the most stringent censorship system outside the world of
Islam, done mostly in the names of "God", "Jesus" and "the children".

We're still chuckling over the furore caused by (I forget her name, was it
Jackson?) who showed a nipple at some sporting event, shock, horror, "what
about the children", thus causing millions of children all over America to
go into terminal meltdown or at least be scarred for life by this
appalling sight.

It's even funnier than listening to your president try to talk.

Since when did the requirement of 100% success become the bar that must be
crossed for any policy?  If you really believed 100% effectiveness was
required before anything was initiated, we'd have to give up on information
security all together.

Because, of course, this will prevent anyone sitting in the terminal from
watching full-length, hi-def porn using the DVD player in their laptop.

"We must do it for the childrennnnnnnn" is rapidly gaining equal
status with "We take this problem seriously" as an utterly trustworthy
guarantee that whatever follows will be completely fabricated bullshit.
