...decades, members of the I.R.A. have scrawled the slogan on walls and shouted it out in British courts: "Our day will come." Now they are being asked to consider whether that day has arrived - even if it's not quite in the way they expected. Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams said last week that the time has come for the I.R.A. to consider a "purely political and democratic" approach to its goal of a united Ireland.

But he fails to make a convert. "I hope you're right...
...larger question is, Do the PTC and other decency campaigners simply want the freedom to find safe zones for their kids? Or do they want to bring you into the safe zone too--if necessary, by cleaning up shows that you have chosen to watch? The slogan that greets visitors to the PTC's website is "Because our children are watching." But for some decency advocates, the problem is also that someone else's children are watching--it's the problem, which both liberal and conservative parents experience, of being exposed to "secondhand smut."
