Has anyone else out there noticed the strange sounds of silence emmanating from the american print and broadcast media concerning the rider attached to the Telecommunications Act recently signed by President Clinton known as the CDA (Communications Decency Act)?

No, actually I haven't. I do seem to observe strange sounds of silence from lib'bers on the cypherpunks list about the legislative body who passed the law, although they must know about the law since they blast the "libera;" to "socialist statist" President who signed it. I seem to observe similar sounds of silence from people who get upset at ostensibly liberal Tipper Gore's godlike powers to implement, as a single individual, some form of record labels while remaining silent about the conservative forces supporting Gingrich clustered around fundamentalist christianity who were calling for censorhip. --tallpaul
