THis is exactly my way of thinking, of what the firewall is really
about. Getting down to it though, and probable slightly off topic, if
you think about it, it's the church's and religious groups that really
control us through using government positions to do so. In saying, for
those of us that believe there is people that are tapped into their
psychic abilities, it's been religious belief that has changed the
general publics views on psychic's as being witchery and of satanic leaning.

This is part of the grand conspiracy. The panic about porn / bomb
instructions on the web knee jerk is a smoke screen. What the
government wants to do is control how it’s citizen access media and
hence ideas. They love the traditional mass media because it’s easy to
control and run by cooperation that have a vested interest keeping the
old paradigms. They hate the web, email, etc because it’s hard to
control and hence subvert how ideas spread. Goverements all over the
place have been trying to do this for a long time.
It’s stupid, won’t work and is going to cost us millions. What will
happen is lots of folks will subscript to OS encrypted tunnelling
services. The outcome will be lots of encrypted web traffic which will
be a lot worse if you’re trying to track the activities of bomb makers
and paedophiles. And it is going to chew up money that would be more
productively spend improving the speed of the infrastructure (and not
slowing it down).
This is nearly a dumb that idea that Mr Keating had of sell exclusive
rights to provide Australian net access to Microsoft!
