I would like to respond to the Dec. 20 letter by Mr. Ron Holt, “Internet Filters.” Like Mr. Holt, my family and I also find the library a very valuable asset, and we too use it quite extensively. He tried in vain to categorize all parents who are for Internet filters (in the library) as hysterical idiots trying to take away precious rights. Please, no one is trying to take away anyone’s porn-surfing rights. We’re only trying to block Internet filth from being openly displayed in our public library.
Mr. Holt and his far-left buddies scream about preserving freedoms “at any cost.” He uses extreme examples and terms guaranteed to provoke emotion, but really have nothing to do with the subject at hand. Nazi Germany being compared to library Internet filters (designed to block porn) can only come from “hyper paranoid preach” of the extreme left.
