Speaking Out Against Australian Internet Censorship

edo-01 writes: "The Sydney Morning Herald has an interesting opinion column up that details some of the opposition to the federal government's net censorship laws, most notably from the government of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales. An interesting quote from the article: 'Essentially, [the federal government] does not see that the Internet in Australia has much of a future as a forum for adults.'"

we don't have things like the US's 2nd amendmant, which was a nice idea when it was made, but is kind of pointless in an age when there's a centrally controlled military force.

On the contrary, the right to self-defense is all the more important in this day and age, when it's been clearly demonstrated that trying to disarm everyone is a tragic blunder.

When you disarm the public, you eliminate the advantage of good people outnumbering bad people.
