I guess it's a lib-con thing. Cons like trying to create norms that generally help society as a group whereas libs just like to bitch about where cons draw the line.

Seriously. What constitutes porn is different for different people and, to be fair, something "pornographic" if used in a context, say for academic work (I know... I know, just saying, so bear with me).
And, mostly, who DECIDES what constitutes porn?
Is Tropic of Cancer porn? Valley of the Dolls? Apocalypse Now?
Maybe the mulsims are right. This country is the great satan.
Our morals sure reflect it. Or, maybe better said, the athiest, secularist, liberals morals reflect it.
Again, why is it a funding issue to make libraries family friendly? All they have to do is keep the pornography out of the library.
What really annoys me about this is that I know local libraries that will bend over backwards to make pornography available that have turned down good and decent books on religion as unnecessary.
pornography has no redeeming values. Its not educational. Its not art. Its absolute profanity. I see no reason why libraries should be encouraging the use of non-education material while turning away things that are actually useful.
