I'm new to this, just started today! It is unfortunate that those in "authority" tend to want to cater to the lowest common denominator in our society rather than the highest. One of the problems with that is people accept that as a guide to their behaviour, or act delibrately against it, or ignore it and do nothing (the majority). It has always amazed me to find out that most people don't want their kids to know anything about something that is a possible threat to them. Somebody once said "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Whoever said that knew what he was talking about. It will lead to the resolution of problems by the agreement to disagree method and puts both parties in a much better position if things do get out of hand. The other thing is that each of us has a certain responsibility to our species to reproduce. Why should we not allow our kids to understand that procreation is fun? Shouldn't we rather be teaching them how to do it better? Isn't sex the foundation on which all relationships of any consequence are built? Anyway, Twanna, I am a committed fan, keep it coming!

It reads: | Twanna A. Hines @ FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com | sex. dating. relationships. The sex part is in the title of the pages. On all of your pages.

By the way, for the record, I've never had sex in a library. Hmm, hadn't considered it ... @ Kim: Yeah, I really like Gary's proposed structure for filtering.

Gary was really on it. His explanation was super well reasoned. I still don't think there should be any censorship at the library except, of course, for children. Wow. Gary was really on it.

Work in a public library, in city of about 500,000. When we first got Internet terminals we had no filtering system in place. After a few years of dudes looking at porn and kids walking by glancing over at it...the filtering system was put into place. I cannot access your blog from my pc in my office. The workers pcs are on a different server than the public. The pcs used at the reference desk have no filtering system. Right now that's where I am posting this comment from...and glancing over my shoulder to make sure no supervisor comes by. In the end having worked in a library with and without Net filtering I can say I prefer a library system with filtering. We basically had the homeless and the crazy in here ALL DAY looking and sharing porn. Now they are only here for two hours tops. Love your blog...keep the great work up and have a blessed '09. Oh yeah...since I cannot read your blog too often here at work I use my cell to keep up with it. AND before I forget there is plenty of sex at the library. The 1st floor men's restroom here is very popular. Some private Catholic school girls got in on in the 1st floor women's restroom a while back AND when the 700s which is art, photography books was on the 1st floor...the dudes would jerk off in the aisle. And there is a reason why SPORTS ILLUSTRATED's swimsuit issue is always kept behind the desk and requires an I.D. Or else it would end up in the men's restroom in some stall.
