Theos-Talk Archives (December 2008 Message tt00099)

How naive, and that coming from a Nobel Prize winner. Did the internet
stop the Gulf War? The invasion of Irak? Guantanamo Bay? All the
African dicators and terrorists immersed in genocide today? The war in
Chzechnia? 

Aside from the fact that the internet already is subject of censorship
(see the situation in China), it changes nothing to the way we, the
people, perceive information, and how this information is carefully
filtered and distributed to us. 

After all, the Third Reich had the very first interactive webring
ever, with the live transmission throughout the empire of the 1942
Weihnachtsring.
