The coverage is twisted in such a way that suggests librarians are advocating that pornography be distributed via public libraries. I think two points are typically ignored: (1) The bill gives the federal government the choice in deciding what is acceptable and inacceptable speech. (2) The existing filtering software is not effective in blocking pornography, but does block a number of legitimate sites. A mild example can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1893000/1893323.stm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
