To: let freedom sing
The Supremes have lost any sense of balance in this ruling. The amount of obscene and corrupting material on the internet has just grown exponentially to extreme poroportions. On top of that the producers of this garbage are using all sorts of methods to get this material into the hands of children so they can create porn-addicts for future consumption.
But in the interest of making sure that people who can't (or won't) buy their own computers can have public library access to porn, they are willing to enable the the garbage perveyors to have unhindered access to those young corruptable minds! The court seems to have no problem restricting free speech when it comes to cigarette ads but God forbid we should protect our kids from the trash on the web.

If they filter out the porn, where will the winos go to masturbate?
I have a better idea. Yank the Internet from the libraries.

On the other hand, they're only kids-- they don't vote, so they can't be as equal as the rest of us. /sarcasm
