I hope this thing goes down hard. Personally I think the first amendment is the lifeblood of our country, and it pains me when people try to wipe it out.

"The statute requires libraries to install blocking programs that inevitably censor a substantial amount of protected speech for adults and minors. Indeed no blocking program offers content categories that are limited -- or even tied in any way -- to CIPA's legal definitions of obscenity, child pornography, or material that is 'harmful to minors'," the ACLU/ALA brief argued.
Problem is if they decide to make porn not free speech in order to pass CIPA. Patriot Act will kick in and start saying what we can and can't say.

After watching the news, seems as if we just have to attack, even though iinspectors say other wise.
