Internet filter: just geeks beating their chests?
Mark Newton and others have done a fine job of presenting a technically competent, clean-cut techie's view of the debate. But that is as much a problem as it is a solution. The wave of the hand and the simple "you must be in favour of kiddie porn" (or some such throw-away line) is unfortunately too effective in dismissing such reasoned arguments, and as Mehlman noted, politicians are totally immune to both reason and sarcasm.
R18+ Movies
A few weeks ago people may remember a very stupid law came in requiring all R18+ movies to be in their own section to apparently protect kids from the images on the covers.
I was in a video store the last week and saw the stupidity in action.

God Is No Excuse
We are all born, and we have no choice in that. We have no choice as to the situation we are born into, good or bad. We have no responsibility for negative hardships that exist at the time of our birth anymore than we can take credit for any inherent advantages. We come into this world blind, ignorant and incompetent and we learn about our environment, the limitations and the potentialities as we develop. Each one of us share this experience. In fact, this is one of the few universal things that we all share equally. We are born, we share the vulnerabilities as humans to illness, pain, hunger, violence and suffering, and then we die. These are facts. This is the situation that all of us share. These are the things we have in common that none of us can escape. These are the things that none of us can exercise any substantive control over. We are born, we are vulnerable and then we die.

Self Righting Domino Sculpture
Hours of fun for the whole family!
What I find frustrating about domino toppling is its ephemeral nature. If only the dominoes could stand themselves up again, you could topple them over and over. Los Angeles artist Karl Lautman solved this problem a few years ago in his sculpture called Ouroborus.
