Ronnie, unfortunately I can't see how you can advocate the use of filtering
products in libraries, and at the same time assert that you support free
speech.  The positions are contradictory.  I do, however, understand that
from your perspective this is about pornography...however even pornography
is protected speech, and it's hard to make a case that adults should not
have access to protected speech of whatever kind.

So you mentioned that you have _The Joy of Sex_ in your stacks.  I assume
you don't want kids to see it...so what's your policy?  How do you make it
accessible for adults, but not for children?
