From the Paper:

"Many people in America that their right to free speech for granted. However, the people who founded our country fought for this right, among many others, and it is one of the most important and valuable rights we enjoy as a country. In fact, it was the first freedom mentioned in the Amendments to the Constitution (Editors). Unfortunately, freedom of speech is also one of the most hotly debated freedoms in many areas, because some people believe that some forms of speech and/or public display are not appropriate. Internet pornography is one of these areas, because it is so controversial, and because children can see pornography, anyone can if they know where to look online."
