>Plaintiff's Opposition to the Demurrer in Livermore
>"The City is maintaining a computer system which allures children to its
>keyboard and, upon the typing of a word as simple as "girl" and clicking
>thrice, will call up obscenities of the vilest persuasion. The law presumes
>that such images are harmful children. While Plaintiff would ask for an
>opportunity to amend the first cause of action as specified."

>New, more shocking incidents from the Ft. Vancouver (WA) Library:
>"After several prior incidents of sperm being found by staff in the
>restroom on the floor after a particular set of brothers have been using
>the internet, I approached one of the patrons, asked him to my office
>and told him that we had seen a pattern of sperm and his internet use.
>After examining his hands for an extended period of time, I said that
>ejaculation was an inappropriate activity in the library. "
