Someone in a goverment with something close to the right idea...
Well, he at least has part of the right idea. -Allen +++++++++++++++++++ Reuters New Media [...] _ Friday March 8 2:41 PM EST _ Malaysia Is Against Curbs On Internet Debate KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Censoring Internet access will not solve concerns over privacy and individual freedom in cyberspace, Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said. "Censoring the Internet is not the solution. Simply closing our doors will not only hurt us but push us back in the race for growth and prosperity," he said in a speech at the launching of the Internet World '96 conference (http:/www.asiaconnect.com.my/asia-internet/) Countries concerned with such issues should instead utilize the Internet to reinforce social responsibility, he added. "Let us not forget that an informed citizenry is also a responsible citizenry," Anwar said. Copyright, Reuters Ltd. All rights reserved

He's got good ppl advicing him. Basically, these guys even surprised me, being in malaysia and all that. but his stand on the matter as well as the PM's is pretty good on this. now, the information minister is a different kettle of fish altogether, but he'll seccede to the PM's wishes anyway.
