After the Senate unanimously approved legislation to raise the fines against radio and television stations for
obscenity, Senator Frist said, "Parents should be able to
watch television with their children without worrying
about exposing them to unsuitable content." In theory, this
may be true. But, in practice, bigger fines won't have much
effect, since parents and children haven't watched
television together since the days of Ozzie and Harriet.
