As I consistently oppose any legal mandate for age verification doors, I will be following this interesting sounding panel next Wednesday. -Steve

On Wednesday, May 10th, the Cato Institute will host a policy forum, Parental Power: TV Indecency, the FCC, and the Media's Response.

http://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=2858 -- you can watch this event live or recorded at that link.

The forum will offer discussion of a new nongovernmental effort to inform parents about a recently developed, simplified program that will enable parents to control all TV programming coming into their homes, with comments from the FCC. Jack Valenti, Former President and CEO, Motion Picture Association of America, Penny Nance, Special Advisor, Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis, FCC; and Roger Pilon, Director, Center for Constitutional Studies, will discuss these issues at the forum.
