CBS must be going for the propaganda suck-up award this year.
Following tonight's "Chicago Hope," which dumped an immense wad of socialist propaganda on us ("Health care is a right!" "No one should ever profit off a sick child."), the local news ran a CBS-produced feature about the internet. First half showed how cute bunny-rabbit cartoons can educate your little hothouse genius. Second half then explained how there are {gasp} dirty *sex* sites out there that junior could accidentally stumble across. Obviously, something *must* be done.
Feature included a representative teen who manfully resists the temptation to look at the feelthy pictures, 16-year-old Tim May of California.
I'm not making this up.
I wonder if it's an accident or a deliberate middle-finger from the propagandists?
They finally aired that interview? I did that a couple of years ago. I got my first Internet account when I was 12, about a year before I got started in the Cypherpunks group. But I'm 18 now, and fully authorized by the State to look at dirty pictures, on or off the Net. --Tim, yes, _that_ one. There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws. Only one response to the key grabbers is warranted: "Death to Tyrants!" ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
