Re: Unprincipled principles
by bithead
One arguement that is telling of the drift of the document is the treatment of the network like any other public commons. I don't disaggree with this, but how much law enforcement does one put in a public place, and how much authority and latitude should they be given? Last time I was in Beijing, there were military platoons marching for formation it seemed everywhere, and their government all but openly trades in human organs from executed prisoners. That may be an extreme example, but I think it give cause to raise the question: are we brave enough for freedom? Or so we retreat frightened, bruised, and cowardly into the protective arms of a police state? Its true - you can walk with complete personal safety an any public place in Beijing at 3 in the morning - if you don't mind donating a kidney now and then.
