      Do we have to wait a generation to see the statistics? Doesn't it seem odd that people can't drive until a certain age, take medication without a prescription, or smoke or drink until a mandated age of consent, but those who would make the entire internet a potential red light zone don't see the speed bump coming?

This is the first generation of internet kids, let's make sure they don't come of age until their parents, peers, and society are ready to receive them on equal terms. Wouldn't it be horrible if fifty years from now substance addiction, criminal behavior, sexual deviance, apathy, immorality, and general disregard for society were proven to have been connected to premature exposure to a wholly adult internet? These images and interconnections pave the way for a child's development, and for those souls who believe porn and extreme adult images are lost on kids, I and the rest of the country will be seeing you in court trying to bail out your kids six to ten years from now with a stunned expression on your faces, wondering how you got there from here.
