With tons of TV channels available, most chock- full of commercials
that induce whining for the latest toys, many folks opt for videos.
So what are they sliding into their VCRs? We contacted several progressive
parents and asked them. And then we asked their kids. Surprise! The
kids pretty much agreed with their parents. Maybe its a feminist thing.
