Are you kidding? You want help to have the government decide what your children can read?

If you want your children not to have access to these things, supervise them or don't let them use the library computers.

This "for the children" stuff always ends up being an excuse for nanny government. Who decides where the line is drawn? You are delegating freedom to whatever a company making these filters decides should be off limits.

I agree with this approach. My son uses my computers, not the library's. When he was under 16, I restricted access to some sites on the Internet. I talked to him often about what is out there, what the risks of accessing some sites are (porn=viruses) and my feelings about the various ways he might use my computer resources. We don't have a problem.
