                             26 February 1996

             2.  The government could destroy the address for

                 inappropriate material.

   III.  Censoring the Internet would establish moral standards.
         A.  Pornography online is more harsh than any other
             media.
             1.  The material out there is highly perverse and
                 sickening.
             2.  Some is not only illegal, but focuses on
                 children.
