Not at all.  It's also somewhere for Neo-Nazis to put up propaganda,
and for terrorists and drug dealers to make their evil plans where the
forces of law and order can't read them.  All the other Internet users
are spotty college geeks who've never seen a girl naked but drool over
the poor-quality porn that appears on your screen as soon as you dial
up.

Oh, except sometimes people get married who met on the World Wide Web
as well.

I oppose all attempts to censor the net.
