Kevin Dujan is one nelly nutcase. It appears he's met his nonsexual soulmate in Megan (not a) Fox. Although I can too easily imagine them finger banging and jerking in unison to pics of Paul Ryan. Gross.

'Creationist Homeschool mum'. Her kids are doomed. Sad.

Sounds like the Library Board needs to be challenged and replaced, and the new Board needs a new lawyer. Free Speech protects what you read and write, not what you display in a public place where children can see it. If adults are not allowed to have sex in the middle of the Library, then a film of adults having sex should not be allowed in the middle of the Library either. It's just common sense, whatever lawyers say. If the porn viewers want to sue, they will get short shrift from the community because the Library's computers and broadband do not belong to the porn viewer, and were probably purchased with public funds. If public funds cannot be used to pay for an abortion, which is also a legal act, then you could make a strong case for not allowing public funds to pay for public pornography. This issue might require a community vote, since the public pays library taxes.

I dunno about your first sentence. Back in the day, I stumbled across some alt. groups that were devoted to some really, really not allowed pics. 0.0 And I wasn't looking for it.

Nah, SafeLibraries is Dan Kleinman, my eternal nemesis. (I'm a librarian.) Hadn't heard from him in a while. Hi Dan!

Why one earth would anyone want to read a book by an illiterate, pants-wetting idiot?

Well, you absolutely refuse to consider any kind of competency criteria for voting.

In "Invisible Man," Ralph Ellison describes a "literacy test" given to a black man in the Jim Crow South: recite the Constitution. Which he did, just to show them (He still didn't get to vote). Now if we apply that test to everyone, black or white, I could totally get behind it. (No, I can't do it now, but you bet your @$$ I'd be able to by next election if we had it. I can already quote a lot more from memory than the average Tea Partier.)

Newsgroups are not something that your "average" internet user could find in this day and age.

I was speaking to the "almost since its inception" part, specifically. In today's world, you are absolutely correct.

Very good assumption.

I'd LOVE to give my neighbor the opportunity to live in the world he dreams of. A world free of government moochers. A world where he wouldn't get Social Security, or section 8 funding for his mobile home park, or Medicare. The people who whine about the government are always the ones sucking hardest at the government teat.
