It's not a mandate. It's an order from god. (As if you didn't know, it
says in the bible that the Republican party is his official mouthpiece.)

Exon, who is the primary sponsor and spokesman for the 
"Communications Decency Act" is a tax-and-spend Democrat.

This conforms to my expectations, prejudices, and assumptions
about the way the world works.

I assume your prejudices are different.

This is one of my favorite pet arguments in this case. With the no 
unfunded mandates notion in the air for the States, why can't sysops 
demand the same treatment, given the resources that would have to be 
devoted to tracking content on their sysytems.
