We ask them how we could do better. We try to imagine what life would be like without Canada, and be glad that we don't have to find out. Today's New York Times has a great editorial about free speech on the Internet. After a week of hearing from people gathered around Al Gore who think that the number one issue is protecting children from sexuality, it's refreshing to hear a vote for free speech. After free speech on the net was ratified by the US Supreme Court last summer, there's no doubt that another attack is coming, and the rallying cry, as always, is that the Internet must be made safe for adults who don't want children to learn about human sexuality.
Children are interested in sex.
That will always be true. I like real things, not simulated things. Instead of hiding from the sexuality of children, we should celebrate it. Hey, kids are great. Their sexuality is great too.
