On the recordJuly 15, 1998
once in America, parents imparted their values and morals to their children. Today, it is out with parents, in with computers. Some even liken it to a Tower of Babble in each family room. Check this out. Last month a woman gave birth on the Internet; and today two teenagers announced, through their attorney, no less, that they will surrender their virginity live on the Internet. Unbelievable. What is next? A late-term abortion? How about an on-line sacrifice to Satan, folks? Beam-me-up.com. I say it is time for these computer companies to shove their software up their hard drives live on the Internet. One last thing, on a serious note. I believe America is in sad shape when computers begin to replace parents in passing down our morals and values. I yield back any common sense left in the country.
