ideas: on policy
Porno at risk from Rev Lovejoy!
There’s been a great deal said about the Federal Government’s half-fisted, nonsensical attempt to censor the world wide web. Certainly with more authority than I could begin to say. What’s been starkly missing from the debate on a smut-free internet are proponents for smut. The deviants who Google-up all sorts of nasty sexual material for their own titillation. The sordid night owls who log-on to get-off. You know, from time to time, all of us.
The importance of ideas
“Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.” Those are the words of pioneering American newsman Edward R. Murrow. I love the quote, and his many others like it. It may sound a particularly high-minded agenda for what will inevitably be another inconsequential blog-of-consciousness. But I reckon it’s a good place to start.
