I remember once a teacher pointing out that most of us have more TV's in our homes than bookshelves. I thought about it a moment and was relieved to conclude that I had way more bookshelves than TV's. It's obvious what this says about our culture. I've seen libraries be closed down due to lack of funding in smaller areas and that's just plain sad. Yet leave it to our government to give shit away so that some big company using third world labor can make money. Maybe they should charge them for the airwaves, put that money back where it belongs. Who cares if you can nullify your mind with better resolution. This is a luxury people, not everyone can even afford a TV. Knowledge is a neccesity yet when it's time for the money, it's not there. Scary scary... Just a thought before you get your panties in a knot... -smurf
As much fun as some of these seem like they would be, I still can't help but think it's excessive. I'm already miffed that someone else has snugglemuffin.com, I would have bought all three if I could have. Really it's just a whole lot more confusion for the masses like my mother. She's still baffled by.net and.org so don't expect it to be anything the public will grasping any time soon, but hey, is that neccesarily a con? Still, I see how some of them could be useful. Quite honestly all the squawking "obscene material" types could easily be subdued if.sex was created. That should in theory make blocking access easier for parental types and fascists correct? Besides, if we scooted all the pr0n sites over to.sex that just might free up some good domain names. So long as people weren't charged for the migration I doubt they would be too miffed. I'm sure there are a million and one problems with all of this, but hell it's just an idea. Still, it is bordering on rediculous, those that exist are plenty even though dull. However,.dot would be kind of cute.
