Bernt

I believe any censorhip or web filter is similar to the burning of books that was abandoned many years ago. I also believe that it will never be possible to censor peoples' thoughts. It all has been tried before and in every instance, it has failed so give it up and do something constructive with the money and time. I would also state it is would be gross child abuse to even think about censoring anything on the www at all. What you propose on censoring is essentially information and witholding information is oppressive and keeps people stupid. The poor news coverage here in Australia is already a very good example. What you propose will have major implications on today's children being the adults of tomorrow. I feel very sorry for them.
