Teach a Man to Fish

Per the National Research Council on how to eliminate internet pornography's influence on children:

The report compared the problem of protecting children from online risks to dealing with a more mundane hazard of daily life. "Swimming pools can be dangerous for children," the authors wrote. "To protect them, one can install locks, put up fences and deploy pool alarms. All of these measures are helpful, but by far the most important thing that one can do for one's children is to teach them to swim." NY Times [requires free registration]

Who is the National Research Council anyway?

I'm sure they'll be drummed out of town soon following a report full of such obvious logic. I mean, they aren't even calling for any legislation or invention of new gadgets or more intrusions on adult privacy!
