I have never been a fan of pornography, but I have always been a fan of personal freedom and choice.

I saw the article in The Tribune May 21 wherein Sen. Todd Weiler intends to introduce as many as three "proposals" next legislative session to require Internet providers to add filters so everyone in Utah has to "opt-in" to view pornography.

I for one am disgusted with the way the Legislature tries to legislate everyone's morality, be it pornography, what we read or watch on TV, or even what we may choose to do in any regard.

Once again, people like Weiler have a major case of the "Ruzicka virus" and are attempting to control the free thoughts and expressions of the rest of us who may not be in conformity with the people of his ilk or religion.
