Read the article referenced in this letter. For those of you who may not
have, let me quote the last sentence.

"Jackson has seen Surfwatch in action, blocking adult patrons from
sexual sites on the library's computer, but no one has formally
complained about the lack of access."

What a shock. Perhaps those folks don't value their first amendment
rights. 


b.t.w the whole article makes for interesting reading.
