If it's harmful to give porn access to children, then it's a parent's responsibility to prevent them from accessing it.
Playing in traffic is also harmful to children, I don't let my children do it. Should I just give up my responsibility and demand that automobiles be banned?

Are you around them 24 hours a day?

I agree. There's hardly a search you can do that couldn't pull up porn. My daughter is interested in cheerleading, and well, I probably don't have to say much more.
I'll probably never recover from seeing "tub lady", and believe me, it wasn't my choice. I can't imagine what it would do to a 9 yr. old. Is there such a thing as a right to freedom _from_ the tub lady? Evidently not. kj.

" I know it when I see it ...." - US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart
"I post it on my web site when I see it ...." - Federal Judge Alex Kozinski - 9th Circuit Court of Appeals,
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article4122560.ece
A high-profile US obscenity trial has been put on hold after it emerged that the top federal judge hearing it
had posted sexually explicit material on his personal website including footage of a semi-naked man cavorting
with a sexually aroused farm animal.
Other material found on Judge Alex Kozinski's site, which has now been blocked, included a photograph of nude women
on all fours painted to look like cows and another of a young man giving himself fellatio.
Apparently he's a Bush supporter of sorts.
“Is it prurient? I don’t know what to tell you,” he said. “I think it’s odd and interesting. It’s part of life."
But in an interview with the newspaper he defended as humorous a picture showing two women sitting in a cafe
with their skirts hiked up to reveal their pubic hair. Behind them is a sign reading "Bush for President".
"That is a funny joke," Mr Kozinski said.
Unfortunately for the judge, there were also said to be more than a dozen copyrighted music tracks listed
on the site in MP3 format from artists including Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and Weird Al Yankovic.

Since that quote was in reference to banning cars, I assume you support that (banning cars)?
