Your kids won't be "exposed" to pornography in the library or on the
Internet unless they look for it except in rare circumstances. It is your
responsibility as a parent to tell them what to do in case they encounter
a "dangerous" situation, like you teach them about the dangers of crossing
busy streets.

What is not acceptable, is blocking out my access (and everyone
else's) to everything that somebody else thinks might link to pornography
without regard to what legitimate subjects are also blocked.

My leg is getting tired. Pull the other one.
