A Wrinkle in Time is apparently banned because it contains magic and "new age" nonsense. (http://solonor.com/bannedbooks/archives/001742.ht ml). Oddly enough, Madeline L'Engle was openly Christian, known to run with other prominant Christian authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. It boggles the mind.

I wonder if good old mudge still works there? It's amazing what a little money'll do, eh?
1. How is living in a place where a tornado may hit your town once every twenty years any different than living in Japan or Califoria, where Earthquakes do millions of dollars of damage regularly? Or living in Georgia, Florida, or the Gulf Coast, with the incredible carnage of the yearly hurricanes? How about living on a volcanic island, or trying to live through the annual monsoons in the philippines and south-east asia, or... I'll stop now.
Sorry to pick nits, but as Kansan I felt the need to defend myself against this endless hick^H^H^H^H Kansan bashing.
Filtering software is just a joke. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Move all the porn to.adu domains. That'll allow "responsible" adults to make their own decisions about how they want to spend their time at home, and parents can easily monitor what their kids are looking at.
Ideally, this would be done by self regulation, not by some broad-sweeping, ignorant government legislation. I honestly can't see any weaknesses to this approach, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.
Ok. I'll admit it. I liked Katz. That is until this article. I guess I learned what Katz was like behind his geek self-righteousness. All throughout this article Katz is pissing and moaning about how arrogent, greedy, and manipulative other people are, especially those who actually have the *audacity* to believe that they are right. But when a time comes when his own interests are served by manipulation and dishonesty, he glady partakes.
I'm not going to use the word hypocrite...ok, yes I am. Katz is being a hypocrite. He claims to support the right for people to set their own moral standard, but when a private corporation does so, he writes an article denouncing them. Katz *knows* he's right, and he's not going to change his opinion for anyone.
Sorry, y'all. The world is full of absolutes. Didn't you learn anything in physics?

No. We certainly wouldn't want some 13-year-old to miss out on the three wonders that are sensless violence, addictive, mind-altering drugs and random sex. We know how happy they've made everyone else in this country.

You're abslolutely right. I think the mock-up was done by a british artist before the PSX2 was even announced. Sony has never shown any case design for their next box. Check www.next-generation.com

Whoa... total thinko on my part. I'm pretty sure I knew this, considering one of the sites I visited posted contact information. Apologies, Madeleine.

Okay, maybe I just think too much, but here's an observation:
Japan- Had an island-wide feudal system of samurai.
England- Had an island-wide feudal system of knights.
Japan- Figurehead monarch, parliamentary gov't.
England- Figurehead monarch, parliamentary gov't.
Japan- Fondness for highly-structured tea ceremonies.
England- Fondness for highly-structured tea ceremonies.
Japan- Historically adversarily continental neighbors, from which the much of their culture is drawn.
England- Ditto.
Japan- Displaced native population. (The Ainu)
England- Displaced native population. (The Celts)
Japan- Passion for high-maintenance gardens.
England- Yup.
Japan- Militaristic (invasions of Korea and China come to mind).
England- Militaristic (invasions of France come to mind).
I know there were a few more, but I can't remember them at the moment.
Yes, perhaps I'm imposing similitudes where none exist, but what can ya do?
One point:
