My comment about all this is fairly simple. When a child or teen goes to any website the real question is the source of his intellectual anchor and the quality of it. Many on this list have mocked religion and its manifestations for instance but that is precisely what it is for. To provide an anchor that regardless of how much raw intellectual wind blows aganist the body of moral and ethical thinking that the child/teen is held fast to ethical and moral judgement that serves to reveal such mutant thinking as espoused by the KKK. Those who promote relativist moral code in which anything is ok so long as the person believes it is ok are the very same people who need to fear the KKK websites and many other websites. Now of course certain "intellectuals" will recite a litanny of bad religion-based historical incidents but the fact that a Pope impregnated a nun in 1650 is irrelevant. The fact is that moral upbringing of children innoculates them against both political mutants and moral mutants like porn sites. They may go there, they may see whats there, but in all likelyhood they wont be influenced by whats there. This is how true free speech is protected. Not by external "laws" but by internal intellectual anchors. This is what parents are supposed to give to their children. Now if a parent feels that anything the kid does is ok and makes excuses for bad thinking and chooses to ignore the bomb materials he has found in the kids bedroom under the bed then he has a great deal to worry about with respect to websites. marcel deste
