"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day." -Douglas Adams

This link was deposited here by Jim, and I felt it was way too cool to be relegated to the comments section. It is a report on the Utah Education Network's (UEN's) efforts to implement internet site access filters in public schools and libraries across the state. One of my favorite anecdotes in the report is about Salt Lake County Attorney General Neal Gunnarson, who failed to comply with a court-ordered investigation into UEN's illegal attempts to destroy/block access to the web access log files. The report also notes that Gunnarson was caught destroying newspapers in 1997 because he disapproved of an article. Illegal destruction of printed material seems to be a common theme in Utah and Mormon history. Perhaps one day Utah will finally come to grips with its own US statehood.
