Mr. Coward, let me correct a few of your more obvious errors:
1) "pornography" is _legal_ for adults in this country. Filtering software doesn't check to see that the user is over the age of consent.
2) Filtering software, being keyword-based, doesn't work very well - a lot of other sites get filtered.
3) The government has no more right to determine my "morality" than YOU do - and _I_ didn't vote for a single one of the professional assholes currently in congress.
4) Some libraries do indeed carry Playboy; many more of them have a lot of erotic texts. However, libraries are mostly non-profit organizations, and most of them cannot afford to carry periodicals that actually cost money.
