Suddenly the landscape erupts in pastel colors, at once soft and bright. As the sun rises, it freely gives its warmth to the girl's young skin, which responds with joy. Her feelings are contagious: surrounded by her new friends, the seven-year-old girl smiles and holds the hand of the girl next to her.

However, one of the boys in the photo holds an umbrella as a parasol for the other children. His giving shade is a gesture of immense kindness, an action that is so rare in the world today. This simple act, which was probably done without much thought on the part of the young boy, gives me hope. Children will always possess a core understanding of friendship and empathy.

("Supreme Court Rejects..." 2002) More constitutional problems have been encountered in the law's battle against child pornography as a federal court in September 2004 outlawed a Pennsylvania State law that required internet service providers (ISPs) to block websites containing child pornography. The Court considered the technology used in the blocking of such sites as clumsy that could cause "massive suppression" of constitutionally protected speech. Apart from conducting a legal "balancing
