HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE INTERNET?

THE ARTICLE YOU POSTED PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE WIKI LEAKS (ONGOING SAGA). DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET IN GENERAL IS DOMINATING THE NEWS AND HAVE OUR FAMILY TALKING ABOUT INTERNET POWER, INTERNET ETIQUETTE, THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION, AND THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE.

IT'S TRUE THE INTERNET HAS OPENED DOORS NO ONE EVER IMAGINED AND HAS CREATED MILLIONS OF JOBS. IT'S ALSO TRUE THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THE INFORMATION POSTED THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET (WHETHER IT'S CORRECT OR NOT) HAS BECOME AN ISSUE IN AND OF ITSELF, ALONG WITH ETIQUETTE AND TEACHING OUR YOUNG ONES INTERNET ETIQUETTE.

WE AGREED SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TEACH INTERNET ETIQUETTE BUT SHOULD COME DIRECTLY FROM THE PARENTS (AFTER ALL, THAT'S WHERE CHILDREN LEARN HOW TO ACT AND SPEAK). IF THE ADULTS ARE POSTING AND TALKING TRASH THEIR CHILDREN SURELY WILL. BUT, WHAT IF THE ADULTS DOING SOME OF THE POSTING, ETC., DON'T HAVE CHILDREN AND AREN'T WORRIED ABOUT THE ISSUE?

THE NOW INTERNATIONAL DEBATE AND PROTESTING AND COMPUTER HACKING RELATED TO WIKI LEAKS IS, TO US, ALMOST OVERWHELMING. WE WERE TALKING WITH NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS IN A SMALL SETTING AND A RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER WAS THE ONLY PERSON TAKING ISSUE WITH WHAT WIKI LEAKS PUBLISHED AND WHETHER THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO DO SO. THE MAJORITY, WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WERE SPEAKING ABOUT, FELT THIS SITE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO PRINT THE INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

WE WERE RAISED BEING TOLD KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WERE NO COMPUTERS AND THE WORLD HAS CERTAINLY LEAPED FORWARD THROUGH THE INFORMATION AGE.


ISN'T AUSTRALIA A "LIBERAL" COUNTRY? THEIR PUBLIC STATEMENTS ON THE WIKI LEAK'S SAGA IS "IT IS OUR COUNTRY'S FAULT". PERSONALLY, ALL I KNOW IS I FEEL STRANGE IN EVEN SPEAKING AND WRITING ABOUT THE SUBJECT. THEN AGAIN, WHAT DO I KNOW?

I blame Holder and Obama for this mess. Holder has been sitting on his balls for 6 month's now.

Anonymous said...

Besides the balls, why do you feel it's their fault? I feel no government has prepared theirselves for the ramifications of the internet. Just curious.

He has NO balls, that's why he hangs on England's skirt tail.

Look, I've got it. You don't like Baylor. For all you know I don't like Baylor. But, I hate to see the space wasted talking about him. It's not worth it, or in your eyes it should be hes not worth it.

Now that he has basically shut Shirley down with his nasty comments, your right lets deal with the real issues and put out as many facts as we can about New Albany and the mess we are in.

My concerns are the following:

a) TIFs
b) Annexation
c) Budget
d) Police & Fire salaries

My family cannot continue to pay higher fees or any type property tax increase.

I hope you don't mind but the birthday article on FOS was a real hoot. How can anyone not like Erik. He is one cool brave guy in my book.

Would someone explain the LOIT Tax to me.

Thanks

LOIT is a tax the County can put on taxpayers and stands for LOCAL OPTION INCOME TAX. We have EDIT (Economic Development Income Tax). I'm not sure if we have CADGIT and I can't remember what CADGIT stands for except it is an income tax.

Happy Birthday.

And, I don't think the County has the heart to put any more taxes on the taxpayers now. Times are too rough. As England said, when he passed the last sewer rate increase, disconnect your cable tv so you can pay your sewer bills.

I don't know about you but I don't have anything left to disconnect except the heat and the gas. The water bill would come whether I even have a meter just because of the minimum of what, 35$?

I know Denhart and CFA will fight the Mayor before they let that LOIT TAX happen and you can take that to the bank.

Happy Birthday FOS, you huys are GREAT!

Berkeley College has decided to honor WikiLeaks. The legal argument has boiled down to is Assange a reporter simply telling it online.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Yes, the mayor is quaking in his boots at the thought of the old hag and her little gang coming to fight.

First, we have people obsessed with another man's anatomy to the point that they describe it with an almost worshipful lust.

Then we have people celebrating a woman who won't even reveal her secret club's playhouse because they are so pathetic.

Wow. Great blog you've got here.

Thank you for the comment about a great blog. I think the more you talk about the different blogs the more different people become involved.

I also know you wish you knew who belongs to CFA and how CFA gets the information. Some people would pay good money to know the inside skinny CFA knows (you know, for business or favors, or whatever). Keep on reading!
