I really think it comes down to advertising. I've sent in more letters than ever this year to companies saying I'm dissapointed where they are spending their advertising budget and will be with-holding my dollar until I see some change in very questionable content they support. An online newsletter family advocacy group helps send me information and the links. I just edit the letters to make them pointed, but gracious (if they are not, or are too harsh for my taste). Every single time, the ads are pulled and within weeks, the show is off. Is this "censorship". No...it's voting with your dollar. How we do this with the internet? I'll leave that for the next commentor. We’ve got to get a balance on this issue in America. I really think it comes down to advertising.

Yes, it's interesting how "the world goes round", no? God is God of all! Sometimes we post things here without commentary or opinion so we can hear from you too. Right or wrong, this is the current culture. It's what we deal with in regards to internet ministry in China! Thanks for the encouragement, Stephen!

Who wouldn't want more push for a safer internet environment? We here like to push the blame onto the government and the government likes to push the blame onto us for the responsibility of censorship, but communist countries can say well I'll do it and you just have to like it. Now I am no communist and even against most censorship, but I just thought it was ironic that we evangelicals are always screaming for stricter legislation that can be somewhat communistic... It is also funny that communists who are extremely atheistic with a disdain for God come close to acting like they do believe... Maybe you just can't get away from God... Great site... with great information.
