As much as I detest the library libertarians who fight for the "right" of children to view pornography

Look, let's kill the BS here.

Internet usage in libraries is highly regulated and monitored. Most libraries have filters that block adult content. Others computers (within the library) don't have the filters because adults may want to use the computers to do medical or biology research and unfortunately porn sites pop up. Do you honestly believe that kids go into libraries and get inundated by porn and sexual predators? Please. Of the public facilities, libraries are among the SAFEST.

If children under 12 are going into libraries alone, WITHOUT PARENTAL OR GUARDIAN SUPERVISION, then whose fault is that? The libraries? Besides, most libraries have security.

The poster has an agenda, he's one of those busybody nanny types who believe that the almighty federal government is the solution to parenting.

You don't live in San Francisco. People using the internet computers can sit down and watch anything without fear of interference. I have had the displeasure of utilizing a library connection in between one guy looking at nude gay personals and another guy looking at hardcore porn videos. Signing up for internet usage is first come, first served, and the only requirement is a library card. If you don't want to use the PC next on the list, you're screwed. Back of the line, wait at least an hour.

You said, "The poster has an agenda, he's one of those busybody nanny types who believe that the almighty federal government is the solution to parenting."

You have swerved into the line of personal attack as a method of avoiding the issues, or, as you say, the "BS." And you make "parenting" the central issue again. People will take your personal attacks and methods of avoiding argument into account when they consider how much weight to give to your arguments. That's your loss, not mine.
