    Kidless are people too

    Nothing against people with kids, but why can't I demand the same thing? Why can't I cut the channels I find offensive? The hunting/fishing channels. The evangelical nutbag channels. Fox News. The YES Network.

    Offensive is in the eye of the beholder. And those of us without children also have legitimate preferences and tastes. Why are we not similarly catered to?
