Gosh, I have NO idea what you're ranting about (obviously a branch of fandom I'm not in on) but whew! You go with that whole "parent your own damn kids" 'tude!
As a librarian, it increasingly pisses me off when parents get up in arms about the fact that we aren't policing their offspring when they're in the library. Knowing full well that filtering technology is inexact at best and prejudicial at worst, it irritates me when we are compelled to use it anyway. I have every intention of supervising Hari's net use when she gets old enough. But there is no way I would expect some overworked, underpaid library employee to do the same. That's not their job.
And, just as an aside, I did write a paper last summer on the pros and cons of controlling the Internet. If you're interested, Lawrence Lessig's book Code is a really good primer on all of that.
