                          CENSORSHIP

 
 
        Have you ever noticed lately how someone wants to censor something 
 else. Just recently Senator Exon tried to get a bill passed. The thing that
 the bill would do is censor the internet. The question is why should
 we be censoring stuf.
        Many people in this day and age have come to believe that censorship
 is the awnser to all of socioties ills. Have you ever noticed how come 
 Bevis and Butt Head don't say fire anymore. The reasion for this is so
 stupid as well. Some little kid has a lighter, and he accidentally 
 burns down his own home. This kid's parents then say that he was influenced
 by the cartoon Bevis and Butthead. First of all why did the parents alow 
 thier child to have a lighter in his possesion. Just because I see something
 in a cartoon dosen't mean I'm gonna do it. After all I haven't hit anyone on 
 the head with a big mallet yet, or have given anyone a light explosive to 
 hold. 
        I feel what we should do instead of censoring things is educating 
 people. I think that education is what we should have. I mean in this 
 country we have rites and censorship is a violation of those rites. 
 It is so simple. Education is much better than censorship because it 
 allows people to be free thinking beings. If we just keep on censoring 
 things people wont have thier own thoughts. 
        We all know what we like and what we don't like. I rember hearing 
 of this case where an elderly lady gets access to a BBS. This person 
 goes into the files section, and procedes to read the discription of a 
 GIF file, and then she proceeds to download this file. Next thing the 
 Sysop of this board knows is that this senior citizen is sueing him.
 She said that the containts of the GIF offended her. I question I ask
 is why did she download the file she read the description. Now I feel 
 that was just a case of someone wanting to get money, but anyway my point
 of this is if you don't like it DON'T DOWNLOAD IT.
        In closeing I would like to say that censorship is first of all
 agnise our constitution, but it is also stupid. Thanx for reading.



 Till next time rember:
 The white zone is for loading and unloading only.
 If you can load or unload go to the white zone.
 You'll love it it's a way of life.
