Let me see if I have this straight, if we don't allow the 11 year old to view fisting pix, we're controlling his thoughts and hindering his right to express himself.
So, if we prevent him from mixing ammonia and bleach together and poisoning the city water supply, aren't we also inhibiting his right to freedom of expression?
In the same way, can't a killing spree in your local high school also be considered yet another form of free expression?
If you follow this train of thought to its logical conclusion, we might all end up in a anarchistic world resembling the Road Warrior.
We need to draw the line somewhere. The government's solution isn't perfect, but at the very least, it would be nice when my teenager types "teen" in HotBot, he or she wouldn't be subjected to a deluge of pornographic web sites.
