Re: Attention, parents of CMU students!



Nick,
The public library is open and available to all people. You don't need any money, there is no age limit (beyond the 5 years or having the ability to write your name that most libraries impose prior to checking out books). I guarentee that I can go to the library that is 2 blocks from my apartment and find things promoting criminal behavior in the children's section and the young adult's section.
I can *probably* even find the instructions on how to make a bomb in the children's non-fiction section... I won't guarantee that, however, because it may not be labeled in that fashion.
Freedom of Speech means that I have the right to disagree with you, and I can fight to have your speech stopped: but I have no right to actually STOP it.

Barbara, I agree with your concern. I think that freedom of speech can
go a little too far. If "Freedom of Speach" allows people to promote
criminal behavior, easily accessed to ALL ages, then there is
something terribly wrong with our society. And people actually
allowing it, and standing up for it is sickening to me. We have been
fighting to keep terrorists out of our country, while our own citizens
are standing up for people who have no respect for human life, and
glorify the terror.

It is sad how people can be so dillusional.
