It failed- mostly because of ID-10-T errors. Why don't they look at it backward and establish a .kid domain for children? That way, we can still filter out crap, just do it reverse- blacklist all except for .kid? Have it be a domain that requires strict regulation, much like how .gov domains are regulated. Schools could filter all domains except for .kid (which would have NO MySpace, facebook, etc access- just websites proven to be educationally useful) Commercial enterprises like Disney and the like would pay extra to be certified to run a .kid domain. So, no extra rules, no extra restrictions, no money needed to enforce some new law, just a new domain that creates more money and opportunity.

This proposal is so technologically and economically ignorant, that it is beyond absurd. Once you factor in the the threat to civil liberties, it is obvious that anyone endorsing this idiocy needs a permanent career reassignment far, far, away from politics, and taxpayer money.

Grandma won't have any trouble getting reliable logging/2-year-archiving set up. I'm sure she'll get to it right after she turns on WEP. And it's *Republicans* pulling this "for the children" idiocy. Sheesh. Hey, how about we make everyone in the country into felons?

"Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today’s Youth Act," or Internet Safety Act. That is insultingly stupid.
