----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I just came across an article at enews.com that presents an interesting slant on this discussion. The article is: The Children's Hour, by V.I. Postrel It's from the journal/mag. Reason. Postrel suggests that both "left" and "right" are appropriating the voice of children to further their own political ends in the TV and violence and other debates. Her arguments are worth bringing into this debate, however in the end I was unsure of their intention or resolution. Ron Curtis
