What is your strategy to avoid RSACi type systems? To persuade parents that there is no need to censor kids from graphic images of sexual acts? Good luck. Or to suggest something which addresses the obvious problems, and takes the steam out of the more ambitious labeling systems? Or to hope that the status quo survives because it is too difficult to construct an alternative (the stategy that most antilabeling people seem to be relying upon)?
Well there happens to be a little anoying thing called the Constitution of the Untied States of America. In there there is what is know as the First Amendment. In this admendment there is a clause that says "Congress shall pass no law ...". It should be obvious even to you that RSACi or any other manditory labeling system it blaitently unconstitutional in direct violation of the First Amendment. One can not preserve ones freedoms through comprimise. History has shown us this time and time again. I don't know how Tim feels on this but I am not willing to comprimise one inch on this issue. The little Nazi censors need to be squashed like the roaches that they are. Make no mistake about it the issue here is not labeling but censorship. These groups pushing the labeling issue are intrested in only one thing and that is gaining the power to control what others can and cannot say. This is only a steeping stone in their grab for power. Back in the '30 we had a chance to stop the Nazi's and insted the world to the easy route of comprimise and paied dearly for it latter on. The same is true is true now. If we continue to back down and comprimise it will only encourage them to bigger and bolder grabs for power. This is the opening shots of the war for freedom of humanity. Either we fight now for our freedoms or we shall die tomorrow in slavery. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
