Remember when the conservative wing in this country would shout about "the nanny state" for any social spending? Where are these people now?
Okay, to be fair, there are plenty of true conservatives (as opposed to neo-cons) still yelling about "a nanny state" with some of these draconian proposals, but now you've got more liberals screaming about it. At long last, the liberal and conservative wing of this country have a common cause.
In either case, I just don't get it. What do they think the kids actually do online? And shouldn't they punishing the actual predators as opposed to the kids?
As always, the thing that trips me up is that it's a proposal to block access that will come down very hard on people who wouldn't otherwise have access to the Internet were it not for libraries or school. That's my big problem right there.
