Please Stand By…
It’s interesting how you experience a new culture. We’re getting a first hand view of China’s moral control of its citizens as they are blocking our access to Flickr.com. Here’s a thread that seems to go on and on about how mad people are about the whole thing. I suppose I can respect a country’s need to do what it believes is best for its citizens. Tim has already hacked the problem by VPNing to his friend’s house in Chicago. I’m working on downloading a program called Vidalia that will allow me to do something similar. We’ll have pictures to share soon.

You can see the argument in favor of censorship?

LOL. No. I don’t understand the value of or condone censorship. I can, however, understand why a poorly informed, fearful government might think that censorship is justifiable. And unfortunately, as a guest in their very scary country, I don’t have a whole-heck-of-a-lot to say about it. I don’t have to remind you that we see the same thing in the United States in the form of content blocking by corporations so their employees are more efficient. Silly stuff keeps life interesting, I guess.
