fear? or fun!
By dan mcmullen
i was once taught in a sociology class that the laws of this
country were designed to make *every* person a criminal in one
way or another. consequently, the vast majority of us citizens
live in fear of "being caught". fear, the professor said, was a
tool to enforce social norms.
i didn't completely believe this at the time.
now i have to admit that it seems to be true.
others have described the illogical and unconstitutional nature
of the Communications Decency Act better than i possibly could. i
simply wish to ask us all:
do we want to live in constant fear?
kinda seems like it spoils all the great fun we've been having.
i say lets focus on the joy in the *connectedness* the net
offers. there are creative, positive solutions to the challenges
this new medium presents.
'nuff said.
