We need to protect ourselves from inappropriate materials. But that is our choice. If Internet research in public places is going to be filtered, then they must be done so in a more intelligent way. We do not have filters, but it would be nice to know you could enter a computer lab, sit down and do some research, without worrying about the guy next to you gyrating in his seat. And we don't mean over the latest Star Wars trailer.
Filters lose their purpose when they block out appropriate material because they share a same word.
Unfortunately the filters are obsolete before they can make their mark. Unsigned editorials represent the majority view of the Sundial editorial board and are not necessarily those of the journalism department. Other views on the opinion page are those of the individual writer.
