Thinking Out Loud

In search of porn

As Amanda Lehmert posts, City Councilman Danny Thompson ha not given up in his search for porn.

So even after the council nixed his motion to add porn filters to library computers, Thompson was in the library, seeing for himself how widespread and how available porn is.

That, of course, could mean Thompson himself may be cited by library staff or security for viewing dirty pictures.

Thompson would have done well to do this homework before making questionable charges at a council meeting about a porn problem.

With all the challenges facing the city, this hardly seems to be a front-burner issue.

You hit the nail on the head, Mr. Johnson. I didn't vote for Danny Thompson and Bill Knight to spend so much time debating library filters and public prayer. Where is the leadership and ideas with regard to the budget? Police Department issues? Rashad Young has done more for our city than this entire council. What is even more strange is that this council is less diverse and yet they still manage to cooperate with each other even less than the previous council.

I certainly regret voting for Thompson. He has been quite a disappointment. I don't understand what's driving him to continue attacking this non-issue. Why not let the library folks do their jobs and provide the requested reports in 90 days?
He's at the library wasting time that could be used for important things.
