Tangential, but relavent, news http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/04/1638239&from=rss:

"Last week, the USPTO published a rather odd Microsoft patent application for Content Ratings and Recommendations, which describes how religious-based communities and other 'subcultures' can use the patent-pending process to prevent their members from viewing undesirable television programs and movies."

In other words, filter kits designed almost exactly for the Xtian/Dominion parallel economy. Thanks Bill.
