Canada's net nanny
Today just seems to be a day that the press is looking at the issue of blocking internet content.
Warren Kinsella writes in The National Post that Canada needs a better net nanny.

Last time anyone checked, making a death threat against a person was, indeed, an indictable criminal offence. So why would the CRTC even pause, for a moment, to impose a less-burdensome penalty -- and when it has the clear mandate and power to do so?Last month, we didn't even ask the CRTC to order blocking. All we asked for was for the CRTC to permit ISPs that volunarily wanted to. We didn't ask for a general framework. We looked at two specific sites.

yeah right, and if an ISP didn't want to block something, how fast would the canadian jewish congress bash that ISP as anti-semetic? Pretty friggin fast i bet. Who would then protect the ISP from being setup?
Go invest the lousey 30$ in netnanny or a firewall with site blocking and block it yourself. Or get with an open-source programmer to have one distributed from your own site to the CJC's site with a block in that that u want.
Don't force your views or crap on others (including ISP's).
You lost, put it to rest. Its a dead dog. Or are we going to hear you and the CJC whine for months to come?

Ooooh... a little touchy are we?
Must be reading a little too much of Bill's material.
Your argument for users to be responsible for blocking material they don't want to hear may fit in the US, but doesn't fit in a country like Canada that has legislation about distributing hate.
Under your scenario, people who don't want to read printed hate should just ignor the magazines. That isn't what the law in Canada says.
