As I said, it's not the act of filtering that bothers me..

It's WHAT was chosen to be filtered..

At best, it is admired. At most, it is marvelled at. At the very least, it is pondered. And at the very worst, it's on sale now for just $7.42 ...

They are always a welcome treat and have been sorely missed!!! :D Keep 'em coming, CWC!!! :D Now, moving on to a little segment I like to call, "GET THAT??".... It's been reported that the TSA, under the auspices of Homeland Security, has issued a memo regarding 'Net filtering. Now, in and of itself, filtering of the 'Net is not a big deal.. All companies do it, all companies SHOULD do it and it makes me no never mind if a company, corporation or government agency wants to make sure it's employees are not wasting time on the 'Net. Especially viewing porn ((cough))Obama's SEC((cough))((cough)).. However, the objectives of the filters themselves can be cause for concern.. The latest TSA memo has stated that on of the filters of 'Net access is "controversial opinions".... GET THAT????....... If you want to view a site that has "controversial opinions" on your lunch hour over at TSA, you will not be allowed to do so... So, while it's likely you can read news and commentary from, say.... Huffingtonpost.com or ChrisWeigant.com or BobCesca.com, you CAN'T read content from Foxnews.com or RushLimbaugh.com... Granted, this is an assumption on my part, but it's a safe bet... "No big deal", ya'all say??? Well, that's what many in the Left Wing Banter Blogosphere are saying anyways.. "Eh... No biggie..." Well, now... Let's apply this to my world famous (and totally trademarked) Switcheroonie Test... Let's postulate a scenario where it was learned that the Bush Administration's TSA was filtering 'Net Access based on "Controversial Opinions..." In Bush's TSA world, one could access say... Foxnews.com and RushLimbaugh.com but cannot access Huffingtonpost.com or ChrisWeigant.com or BobCesca.com.. Now, I have to ask... Would THAT be an "Eh... No biggie" then??? I don't think it would.. Just another instance of something that is good for the goose, SHOULD be good for the gander.... No?? Michale......
