Questions and Concerns on the V-chip or the Program editor How is the Program Editor (which blanks out pre-selected programs) going to be better than the V-Chip. And if it is how going to be better, how is the Program editor going to work? I don t know much about the program editor so if I could get some more incite to how this is going to be better please send me some information on it. I don t see how the V-chip will lead to more sex and violence on t.v., which Congress Thomas Bliley (VA-Rep.) stated, this was printed in a AP release. I would also like more information on this too. Also if the parents don t share the code for programming the V-chip with their children then I don t see how they can deprogram this device, unless of course the child is a computer whiz. Which was also in the Washington AP release. Depending on how parents choose to censor what their children what than maybe the V-chip is not the way to go. And if the program editor is so much better than maybe it is the way networks need to go. This way you don t block out the whole channel you only block our the shows w/ the bad ratings. I watch TV often so I don t find that some of the shows do have too much violence, language, and sex on them. Like take for instance the high controversial show "NYPD Blue". It has a lot of everything on it, but I like it and yet if I had children, there is no way I would let them watch it. So instead of blocking the whole channel with the V-chip use a locking system to lock that program out. Because if you do lock that specific channel out you are also maybe locking out educational programs as well. Or even the Saturday morning cartoons that come on. I know when I was little the cartoons came in real handy for my mother if she ever wanted to clean house we were out of the way. What is your reaction or incite to these thoughts and statements. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
