IMHO FSC is the only org that HAS been helping us and is our best bet for the future. I'm willing to check out other links to groups that are suggested though.

Absolutely true, still going to happen. My update post was based on merely historical research I've been doing on past positions and activity.

Actually this is what I thought re: Public funded WiFi networks too. But its happened all over the USA. If you don't know what I'm talking about:

I use tags and I do like the elegance of the solution (I'm not too scared by all the AVS hyperbole probably should be though) tags are still a great idea for filters and responsible WM's should use them. I think the position is more clearly stated that the government should not use ADULT as a platform for restricting speech. Let mom and dad do it.

I'm truly interested in this fight from a libertarian point of view not just because I happen to peddle porn. I am loathe to give governments the easy ability to filter expression. I am very admiring of Chinese dissidents who are doing hard time for posting a msg about political corruption. The web has to be free and protected from encroachment by power brokers and I can only be proud that "adult" is on the leading edge of this fight. All you WM's are REALLY important to this an should be proud too. No matter what country your from I'm thinking you have a better chance with a free internet than one which will be modified real time by politics or religion.
