What consenting adults do in their own home is their own business, and no government has a right to control that. Sure, kids might wander upon an unwholesome site, but they might wander into someones house and see the same things. Just because the door is unlocked does not mean the government has a right to put locks on peoples doors, or sites. It is not the governments job to raise peoples children for them. The internet is like a city, and if parents let their children wander around unsupervised, bad things can happen. That does not mean adults should be disallwoed from wandering the streets at night, just because a kid might be around. As far as stopping child porn goes. Let me ask you this: Even if you suceeded in getting rid of all the child porn on the internet, where do you think the pedos would go to get their fix? Well I'll tell you, they'd go down the local school. You are making the problem worse if anything. The problem is not what some sick bastard thinks in his own head in his own home, the problem is when the sick bastard acts on those thoughts. You cant make it illegal to think bad things, I mean, its illegal to murder people, and yet you can still watch movies with murder in them, would banning movies that depicted violence lower the violence level? WE have the highest rate of bashing in the western world, and yet you arent banning hollywood block busters. That says to me that this is not about stopping crime at all, and that it is all about control. You were not elected with a mandate to become the thought police. Some people have sick thoughts, get over it and stop punishing innocent people in an attempt to stop bad people. Because your filter sure as hell wont effect anyone but the innocent. I do not care what twisted thoughts someone else has, I care about their actions, and your plan is doing more to turn thoughts into actions than any other strategy i have yet heard of. It is the most counter productive scheme you could possibly have come up with. And this black list... utter tripe. You sir have absolutly no right to choose what i see. IF i choose to research terrorism for an assignment, or an article, or even a blog post, i should be able to see whatever information i choose. You have no right to block content, of any sort. Ths whole scheme has left me under the impression that you do not understand the internet or care about internet users at all. And more than that, this single issue has caused me to loose complete faith in a government i elected. Bad form sir. Bad form.
