You have no idea how I feel. I do believe in personal responsibility. And I do FEEL that internet filters are a slippery slope. I'll ask you the same question I've asked before, who decides what gets filtered? Your neighbor? The police? Who?

"who decides what gets filtered?"

Probably the same people who decide what books go into the library now. Under your current delusion, every library would have every book. What about the classic literature banned from public school reading lists? I find that much more offensive than banning porn. Like I said, you've been policed by the library police all your life, you just didn't know it.

Here's a thought for your thick skull, maybe the people who flip the bill for the library and have children who visit the library, should have a say at what goes on in the library. Librarians are terrified at this thought.

As a community we filter what our children see now. The use of a software tool is no different than an onoff switch or a paper bag.
