Michael:

Please ask the Council to provide one of their members to monitor each of
our public Internet workstations.

At the next CLA Conference I think I'll run an endless loop of XX Adult XX
sites on the Internet (such as http://www.petpleasure.com/main.html).  If
it's good enough for our libraries, then why not for our conference too.  

Let's share this resource material with our patrons and colleagues alike,
and stop this filtering nonsense once and for all!  Let freedom ring!
