- I attended an AIPAC (a pro-Israel lobbying group) leadership
- seminar this weekend and was quite dismayed to hear a speaker
- refer to the Internet as a forum for propagating Holocaust
- revisionist theories. She also had a few choice words about
- student newspaper editors who chose to print Bradley Smith's
- ad. Having been partially responsible for the decision to print
- the ad at Washington University, I offered her my point of view
- in the Q&A session. She refused to hear my arguments and we
- ran out of time before I could even begin to explain what the
- Internet is (when she made the comment I heard mumblings in
- the mostly computer-illiterate audience to the effect of:
- what company runs this Internet thing? How can we stop them).
- Anyway, I thought I would share this little anecdote with
- everyone.
