| they`re too offensive for censors` tastes, now the government wants standards for censorship? Doesn`t that just mean adding a government-approved political bias to the already existing censors` personal and political biases? Gee, what a great tool for pushing a political position... only post talkbacks that endorse one side of a particular issue. And it`s cheaper than handing out flyers! Makes a lot of sense from an economic and political viewpoint. Makes no sense from a freedom of speech viewpoint. Just think, people can no longer post talkbacks condemning settlement expansions! No talkbacks condemning the evacuation of Gaza! No talkbacks advocating Arab Israeli equality! No talkbacks calling for Olmert to resign! The possibilities are endless. And what they really want from you is simple... just shut up and go shopping. Welcome to "freedom" and "Western values". I like to think of it as just a people farm, and we`re all of us nothing but the vegetables. |
