Steve,
Why do only dogs have the right to be a dog. I want to be a dog.
Seriously, how do we get out of this internet Mess. Do you really feature Zucky and Beezy as censors? On the other hand, do you really think the I-net should be the wild west? There is, after all, some reason they tamed the wild west, right? All them darned school-marms came with their darned petticoats. All them barrooms and hoorhouses replaced by them blasted churches and – worst of all – state universities! Given the problem, what is the least worst thing that can be done?
Be interested to see if what unfolds in the next few days is an internet lynch mob.
