Which is why "protecting the kids" is such bull manure. Yes, a filter to keep little 8-year-old Sally from seeing reality porn when she's looking up information on fairy tales is a great thing and should be used and encouraged. But any good Republican businessman is gonna tell you that you can't "protect" someone from a commodity that they are deliberately seeking (like 16-year-olds looking for nekkid pictures). That's a whole different thing, and the fact that the government and the fundamentalist moralists treat them as exactly the same "problem" is either stupidity or being deliberately deceptive.
