I'm not quite so fatalistic. Censorship is mostly illegal in the USA
between consenting adults. (And yes, since I live here, I tend to worry
about the USA more than say Saudi Arabia's concerns about immoral produce :-)
The intent of KidCode is to allow adults to speak to other adults about
adult topics. I feel that this will reduce censorship in the USA. If, as
you say, we're all doomed anyway, what does it hurt? --Darren
