This is as tedious and stupid as the country of Australia AND the Mormons in Utah attempting to filter the Internet. Maybe Minnesota needs to secede from the Union and form their own country with Utah and Texas? Then all the fundie religious fanatics and other nutjobs can all live together in one big, happy, filtered existence without being bothered by ::REALITY::
It's not "fundie religious fanatics" behind this- it's a state bureaucrat trying to protect legal Indian casinos and state lottery proceeds.

Being from CA, you might want to rethink casually throwing out the "nutjob" label- you've got more than your fair share.

The LDS church (Mormons to you) does not affect my surfing at all. Talking to my neighbors, some of them have signed on to an ISP run by the LDS church that does do what you are accusing them of doing, however, and this is a BIG HOWEVER, they choose to do so and are not forced to like you imply (and several have said they like it, others have very mixed opinions).

Religious nutjobs are almost always the same folks behind filtering anything, especially causes that are considered immoral by certain religious cults entitites. They vote in very large blocs and this in turn spurs any opportunistic douchebag politician to do their bidding. Try reading and using your brain first before you sound off.

I suggest you take your own advice. The proposed blocking wasn't enacted by a politician.
