Seems to me that it's parents and teachers, who worry most about what is shown. Children are such an inspiration to me, but the urge to shelter them can be such a damper on things for the rest of us.
I am (proudly) childless. So I don't have to be concerned about raising children myself. I am often resentful of the restrictions made in children's interest. What should children be sheltered from? Are children always the real reason that art is censored? So much of the time children are sheltered from sex, but not from violent imagery. - T --- In [email protected], guido bondioli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > When we had the Mail Art Extravaganza in Dallas in > > 2003 we had a > > > mailbox holding the 'scary' mail (from a City of > > Dallas point of > > > view) with a tiny lock saying it would be opened > > on request.
