Actually, this time MJR is not just trolling, he's being serious. He is correct, in that my argument doesn't go the whole way into supporting the idealogy of free speech on the net; it only mentions a practical value on the cited speech. While I am still more an idealist than pragmatist, I learned from the Lessig Slashdot interview that there is value in being able to put arguments in a more practical light, being that most people think along practical arguments. Therefore, in this case I am using a practical argument which favors a certain idealogy - -- Fly Windows NT: All the passengers carry their seats out onto the tarmac, placing the chairs in the outline of a plane. They all sit down, flap their arms and make jet swooshing sounds as if they are flying. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjxB4N4ACgkQqpueKcacfLTGcgCfQrS+BrDetKBSRjzhToJOm1Xd mUkAoIjJBdAXbaMK/ndd4r+3IaW3o4Pz =2wTL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
