Hrm... agreed it's not about censorship, it is about a parents right to choose if their child is exposed to this, BUT putting the libraries in a no win postition like this (spend even more $$$ of software/infrastructure or loose federal dollars) helps nobody.
f they find out if this stuff can eat away plastic, then maybe we can figure out a way to contain them and put them to use to eat away non-decomposable plastic items in landfills - heck,

The Senate is an "ol' boys club" it's in their best intrest to tack these extranious law onto bills...
My uncle was a senator for one term, he got elected thinking he could fix this and that. He didn't even bother to run for another term because nobody in there wqanted to fix anything, they simply passed the bill with the best paying lobbiers. There is a lot of "i'll vote for your bill if you vote for mine" that goes on.
i felt the same way as Cliff, so i wrote a groovy piece of software, and we (my company) are now giving it away (plus a very small hosting fee) to non-profits, service organizations (Kiwanis, Lions clubs etc), community libraries, theatre groups, schools and the like. I'm sure it'd be bad taste to plug it here, so email me @ jeffers@reallyNOSPAMPLEASEstupid.com.
the really nifty thing is that we can sell it to commercial prospects if we are in dire need of cash. it's good for us, it's good for them. and not only can i help MY community, but i can help EVERYbodies community.
