| 1. | Required reading for web people. Check out: (1) |
| 2. | for an incredibly eloquent and chilling demo of what the new Telecommunications Act has cost us. |
| 3. | Before the act, the LIBIDO e-zine was a beautiful site containing sexual imagery, written and photographic. It was wonderful stuff. |
| 4. | It's gone - replaced by the most eloquent essay I've read on the subject of freedom and censorship. It's a chilling essay. A cold shiver. A new sense of reality. Electronic book burning. Coerced! Virtual. And real, very very real. |
| 5. | Can it happen here? It's happening! |
| 6. | Then check out "A Society of Parents". In this DaveNet piece I linked to a picture on the LIBIDO site. This essay was designed to detect censorship on the net. It's a broken link now. |

| 15. | About a half-hour of reading. All human feelings are expressed in these pieces: optimism, fear, joy, anger, sadness, and sexuality. |
| 16. | Should I follow the example of LIBIDO, and take them offline? |
| 17. | Maybe that's the next thing after black backgrounds? |
| 18. | Make the web disappear for a week? |
| 19. | People are calling for civil disobedience! |
| 20. | Maybe this is what comes next. |

| 22. | PS: Where are the creative people of the music industry on this stuff? I wish Jerry were here! We need a theme song. Who wants to write it? We need something to dance to! |
