We're not meeting duty to protect young people

I really do believe when the writers of the Constitution wrote the First Amendment, never in their wildest dreams would they have thought they would be protecting websites that promote sexual perversions, and I think it's time for us as a society to put an end to these and all like websites.

When freedom of speech winds up jeopardizing the safety of our young, vulnerable people it becomes a violation of their well-being. How many young people have to be killed or hurt before common sense deems these and others as destructive to our society? How can decent people condone them (and others) when far too often they put others in harm's way?

As wonderful as our country is, I believe we are on a slippery slope and really need to do something now. Along with rights goes responsibility and I believe part of that responsibility is to protect our young people as they are our future and right now, we aren't doing a very good job of protecting them.
