My first reaction, honestly, was a hollow laugh into my batch brew. Six out of ten. Right.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Now, I&amp;rsquo;m not going to sit here and call everyone who supports this proposal an idiot — that&amp;rsquo;s lazy thinking and it doesn&amp;rsquo;t help anyone. But I do think a lot of those six out of ten would have a very different opinion if the survey question wasn&amp;rsquo;t framed as something like &lt;em>&amp;ldquo;do you want children to be safe online?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em> Because of course you do. Everyone does. That&amp;rsquo;s not even a real question.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
