I thought the warning was =
more than
ample. Porn is not an very ambiguous term, and it was right in the =
subject
line. Adult Content is also pretty clear. If "I had a pair of young eyes sitting =
on
my lap
waiting for another round of 'cool' WV pics," as one writer said, I =
wouldn't
open something with a subject line containing Porn, and if I did, I =
wouldn't
click on a link with an Adult Content warning clearly printed above =
it. In
addition to those warnings, the link itself contains the word =
"galleries" once,
and the word "teen" twice. Anyone who has been surfing the net for =
any
length of time at all would recognise those as code words for porn, even =
assuming they missed the porn and adult content warnings. No, let =
me take
that back. Anyone who missed the porn and adult content warnings =
would be
unlikely to notice the warning signs in the link, no matter how
obvious.
Of course, free speech is =
probably my
#1 political priority, followed closely by scientific conservationism =
(as
opposed to the non-scientific, hysterical version you read about so =
much).
For instance, even though we love our Westy, I always feel a twinge of =
guilt
when I drive it, because I know it pollutes more that a new vehicle =
would.
I justify it because by using an older vehicle, we are saving all the =
resources
it would take to build a new replacement.
Besides, we don't smoke, =
so think of
all the pollution we don't create by not burning a bunch of pounds of =
tobacco
and paper every year. On the other hand, I do use my cell phone =
while
driving sometimes, and I know some list members consider that =
deplorable.
I would favor a law banning that activity, as long as it also bans other =
activities while driving, such as smoking and eating a =
burger.
Meanwhile, I am in the =
process of
installing a gray water tank on my '81 Westy. I already know I =
have to
move where the drain goes through the floor inside the cabinet, and I =
have to
make some sort of bracket to hold the front of the tank. Is there =
anything
else I have to be sure to do?
Well, let's run through =
the checklist
on my post. It has Vanagon content. It also has enough =
political
opinions that at least one of them should offend pretty much =
everybody. I
am reminded of a bumper sticker that was designed to offend everyone who =
saw
it. "Nuke the gay whales for Jesus."
Happy father's =
day,
