One benefit of making your living through a wire is that your end of the wire can be anywhere you like. So, if you want to be surrounded exclusively by members of Group X, you are free to go live in some commune populated exclusively with the members of that group and still make a living. To the extent that racism is caused by ignorance, the Net will tend to reduce it. But, is this claim really correct or is it simply a slur against racists? (The implication being that all U.S. racists live in the South and that Southerners aren't that smart.) I believe that many people are racists because they like to be that way and that more knowledge about other racial groups isn't going to change that. Knowledge about someone is not synonymous with liking them or forming a relationship with them. The people who are working themselves up into a panic regarding "hate speech" would appear to agree with me on this point. What they fear is that certain ideas will "spread". That is, as certain people are exposed to ideas and knowledge they did not have before, they will become racist or more racist than they already are. In other words, there are groups of people who cannot be trusted to think for themselves. >Ironically, an equivalent example, but one which is deemed >politically correct by many, is the example of "women-only" forums on >the Net. Oh, you mean the majority group? The majority group will always protect its own privileges. Look how many men are in jail when compared to women. Clearly men are an oppressed group. ;-) Seriously, people like to spend at least some of their time with people who are a lot like themselves. This is true of just about every person on the planet. A common theme in the United States at this time is that it is wrong for white males to behave this way, but it is not wrong for anybody else to behave this way.

Death Penalty Expanded
by Tim May 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

What's next, the death penalty for unregistered crypto? No doubt Swinestein plans to introduce her own version of this in Amerika. --Tim # Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 6:43:53 PST # # TAIPEI, Nov 24 (AFP) - Taiwan brought in new heavy penalties # Monday to curb illegal firearm possession in an effort to tackle a # rising crime wave here. # Under an amended law effective from Monday anyone caught # manufacturing, selling or transporting illegal firearms faces the # death penalty. Previously the law stipulated a maximum penalty of # seven years jail. # The move comes just five days after the island's most wanted # fugitive gave himself up to police. # "The amened law is expected to emerge as a deterrent force to # effectively keep at bay illegal holding of firearms," President Lee # Teng-hui said. # In the past, nearly 80 percent of offenders under the law faced # only 18 months jail and were often released on parole after serving # a third of their sentence, official statistics show.

I suppose you thought it would distract attention from the fact that you still refuse to reveal what your motive was for harassing Jeff Burchell this summer in a failed attempt to get him to turn over the logs containing the names and e-mail addresses of everyone who either sent or received an anonymous message through his remailer. Your attempt to spread F.U.D. (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) among the remailer user community is reminiscent of the "Church" of $cientology's similarly rabid anti-remailer tactics. Your fanciful posts about "anonymous assholes", "cyber stalkers", and other bovine excrement don't even make good fiction anymore. I'll take ElRon's sci-fi over yours any day. If posts from "anon assholes" really offend your sensitive feelings, then you might want to stay away from most of the NGs where you've been posting your blather. SUGGESTION: stick with "safe" groups like comp.org.cauce where anonymous posts are banned and content is censo^h^h^h^h^hmoderated to ensure an appropriate level of political correctness.

The Gullibility Virus, as it : is called, apparently makes people believe and forward copies of silly : hoaxes relating to cookie recipes, email viruses, taxes on modems, and : get-rich-quick schemes [perhaps conspiracy theories should be included : here]. : : "These are not just readers of tabloids or people who buy lottery : tickets based on fortune cookie numbers," a spokesman said.

Now, however, she is spreading the word. : "Challenge and check whatever you read," she says. : : Internet users are urged to examine themselves for symptoms of the : virus, which include the following: : : * the willingness to believe improbable stories : without thinking : : * the urge to forward multiple copies of such : stories to others : : * a lack of desire to take three minutes to check : to see if a story is true : : T.
