When you expand the government to the point where the few (Congress) make all the decisions for the many, you will run into this type of thing. I would say it is the beginning of the end, but the beginning started with the passing of the 16th Amendment (1913). The 16th Amendment gave the goverment the power to enslave the masses while exponentially expanding the government without any backlash from the enslaved. I am sure this will pass, just like most ridiculous laws built on top of laws. I agree with Jason H, and before him, Thomas Jefferson. There should be a revolution every 50 years. However, any speak of this and you are "Un-American". The founding fathers must have been Un-American as well, as they were a new brand of revolutionaries, and those that we look up to the most. And what were they mainly revolting about? Ridiculous laws and taxes. Without going on too much of a rant, this is a perfect example of Government Gone Wild.

What a waste of time. I’m all for the family friendly thing, but this is just blatant pandering to his base. What a waste of time.

We spend so much time "protecting" children that we forget to teach them how to protect themselves. We really need another revolution. :-P Just another example of the new Nanny State we live in.
