Subject: Re: MR. MAGOO CONCERNS
yeh, but i don't beleive that is going to change over a movie.
kids are kids, and kids are going to be crewl.
drugs are here, making stricter laws isn't going to change that.
about 75% of teens have sex.
sex education in school isn't going to make tthat go away.
i just don't see wasting lots of money or this thing, is even going to make
a difference.
why doesn't the nfb go after microsoft.
hell both have just about as much money.
that is disney and ms.
why not fight something thats going to improve our chances of using
computers, and staying in the work force.
