WORLD parties could ELIMINATE the "Blue Meanies"

Change is NOT a bad thing... there are beings floatin' about this world today who think that th' cure for the world's ills is to LOCK it all DOWN... prevent anything from HAPPENING! &, if yer' among those who think th' world is NOT changin' - that itz' somehow "just like the old days"... ya' better get yer' NOSE outta' yer' Sir Lancelot novel. Times, they ARE a-changin'...

I don't mean that we HAVE to change... personal choice DOES still exist, & I'll be horn-swoggled if anyone will tell me that I HAVE to buy a computer, or a particular musical instrument, for that matter. It's just that there are SOME things that make (in my mind, anyway) good logical sense.

The Internet is almost (now) like a modern Tower of Babel. Websites in several different languages... you can read about the latest French experimental group - in your OWN language. That feature alone makes it worth it's weight in gold, myrhh or frankincense, I'd think. There are already artists doing live collaborations via the netz, too... digital trax, uploaded to the website, invitations to others to lay new material on top of them. This is no longer "science fiction". It's all HERE already, whether you realize it or not.

Can you IMAGINE the possibilities? Instead of "block parties", there could be giant-screen videoconferenced "world parties". The abilities of "blue meanies" are severely limited in such an environment, too. I mean, they might be able to step in & ruin YOUR par-tee - but how are they EVER gonna' stop 300,000 people, scattered all th' way from Kalamazoo to Katmandu?

The net is a huge political force, as well. Th' curmudgeons who dreamed up the CDA were overturned, quite simply because any person with a modicum of intelligence can see that the RESPONSIBLITY for what is viewed (or listened to) on the netz' belongs to THEM. Debates about things that "didn't belong" in print often took long periods of time for the courts to sort through... but, the net is IMMEDIATE... the article I read said that ALL the judges on the Supreme Court took their OWN shot at determining just how silly th' complaints of the CDA crowd were.

I'm not advocating that everyone rush right out & buy a computer (or an NC) to hook up tomorrow... but I surely AM of the opinion that those who decide not to JOIN the (r)evolution will never benefit from it! If you DON'T, those with other ambitions for the netz WILL take it over & turn it in to another tool for hypin' young minds. Hope to see ya' on th' netz! Till next time...

Adieu,

Rotcod Zzaj
