You don't make your point very well. You seem perfectly OK with the fact that porn is not freely available over the airwaves. Do you have a problem with the same sort of sensibility about making porn at the public library so kids can't so easily get it? If you think porn must be easily and freely available at the library, why aren't you fighting to get porn on network TV....

I know of no instances where porn is "made at the public library" (well, maybe it is in San Francisco, but that's perhaps another story). As to its being "freely available" at the library, no, that doesn't bother me. All the library needs to do is have the computer screens visible to the staff and other patrons, and place a warning that any minor accessing a pornographic site will be barred from the library. I have no problem whatsoever with having a section reserved for adults, who should be free to access whatever they damn well please. I am a big fan of the United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. I am opposed to governmental censorship. Not only does censorship strip away our freedoms, it also contributes to making the people dependent upon the government, and reduces personal responsibility, which by itself creates dependency. The nanny-staters and the socialists love that.
