My position is that, every body in our society is "in the business" of protecting kids. My objection is to this statement made by the Director of the National Library Association: "The only way to protect children is to make sure they are educated so they can have a safe responsible experience," Plenty of educated children have become drug and alcohol addicted, prostituting murderers. Education, with all its benefits, is far from the only way to make sure people have a safe responsible experience. This statement, IMO, is a cop out based on a political fear/agenda. The intent seems to be to stiffle any attempt at regulatory intervention. I do not consider marian the librarian any more trustworthy to handle this responsibility without regulation than perry the pervert. When dealing with entities that present a particular danger to the children of our society there should be involvement at all levels of society from the parents to the federal government in creating reasonable assurances that the children are not put in harms way. If you are going to traffic in dangerous fire arms, you should expect the various regulatory agencies and organizations from Federal, State, and Local levels to have some say in the matter. I see no difference here.
