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.
