1) I approve of filtering and monitoring of public internet access for people under 18, but there needs to be more intelligent methods of filtering, and there needs to be a means of accessing the raw feed for adults as well. Simple solution: charge adults by the kilobyte, something like a penny a K. That'll stop the porn downloading real quick-like, and provide a small but non-trivial revenue stream for public libraries.
2) No. Not ever. For no reason and under no circumstances. Not even for the utterly execrable output of Ann Coulter. Nazis burned books. Free people should treasure them, regardless of content.
3) The First Amendment is the core of American society. It must be defended at all costs against those who would limit the freedom it provides. This means you, John Ashcroft.
