Protecting Children in the 21st Century by Tossing them Back to the 19th Century

I don’t  understand  this  uproarOf course Senator Ted Stevens is right.  Social networking sites should be banned. The Internet, too.  And TV. In fact, let’s ban electricity.  Books should be burned, except the Bible.  All children should wear a black uniform, their heads shaved bald.  Libraries, schools closed, children should only go to church.  Wait!

    Okay, I just have a few things to say about this Ted Stevens library banning social media sites, possibly including Wikipedia situation:

    I think that a bill aimed at protecting children from something that a lot of people obviously don’t understand very well deserves more serious discussion than what you just provided.

    Of course, it’s always easier to tear apart other peoples ideas than it is contribute your own. Isn’t it?
