Ah, apologies to everyone!  (I was curious about the "political" statement).  It is indeed *self* inflicted.  The user is having trouble getting his work done and finds his own behaviour online detrimental to his work process.

I figured if the user has issues to the point of requesting that I whitelist websites he may not find a plugin for browsers useful (i.e. easy to circumvent), however, I did encounter these options as well in my google searches so I will suggest this as an option.

Thanks everyone!
