I like the description of our precious little savages, I mean children,
it describes them pretty good. I know of several schools that depend
upon blacklist/whitelist methods of filtering and don't seem to have a
problem with it. But, those are also the same districts that have
enough staffing to be updating those lists daily and supervising the
savages, I mean children, constantly while they are using the computers.
I look at it this way, SurfControl is expensive, but far cheaper than
the payroll needed for all those extra people to do the manual
screening, and far-far cheaper than the lawsuits that would be generated
as a result of letting little savages in heat do unsupervised browsing.

That's true, when you have professional malicious users like the little
savages in our public schools, you have to go with Websense or
SurfControl or some similar content filtering solution that updates it's
database everyday.

You can go the black-list route, but knowing the kids we have
here they will find ways around your black-list in a matter of minutes.
Your best bet is a program similar to SurfControl, that updates their
listing of websites every day.
