The truth is that parenting today is easier than it has been in years. There are so many technological and institutional controls in place that never existed before. Take filtering software and the V chip for example.

But... but... we can't control what little johnny might see at the neighbor's house! Hasn't that ALWAYS been the case? When have parents actually had that control over their kids' innocence?</p> This is nothing more than a stunt intended to win over some “morality voters.” The truth is that parenting today is easier than it has been in years.
