Can you buy a gun, a car, heroin? Why have restrictions on anything for anyone? Certainly everyone is a rational actor who chooses the best thing for society and would never take advantage of ignorant youth. Especially in a place like a library where they have unrestricted access to the ideals developing in a child’s mind. /sarc

Do you genuinely believe there is anything remotely as dangerous as driving a car or shooting up heroin a teenager can do by simply typing a URL into the address bar and pressing enter. Do you seriously believe anything you said here is remotely comparable?
