Just curious .... I see LIBRARY ... And if I remember correctly, a LIBRARY is filled with books on ALL kinds of topics ... And in this day and age, I don't believe there is too much "book burning" going on in the States ... And while WalMart can choose not to sell a certain CD because of explicit language, can Libraries also choose to stock what books they want and don't want?
If a Library gets its funding from the government, and I'm talking about the Larger type Libraries in major cities for the moment ... Do they not have books of very controversial nature such as books with explicit photos of war, human decapitation, the sexual reproductive exploits of the giraffe, cannibalism, demon worship, etc, etc ... Do you catch my drift? I am not condoning surfing porn in a library, I don't even do it at home, but to say that it is so important that filters need to be stuck on Library computers to protect the innocent seems a bit much to me, when so MUCH OTHER "bad" information is available to children and they are exposed to far more "evils" of the world just by watching TV or reading a newspaper. <sigh> Well hooray for the First Amendment.
