It's been my policy to view the Internet not as an 'information highway,' but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies.

We The Electronic
See us on the underground
Packed up in our sardine cans
Tailor made with suits and shades
Lipstick teeth and waxwork hands
Electronic, we're electronic
Jumping on conveyor belts
Escalators in our heads
Programmed for another day
Talking to a faceless friend
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Hear the ticking in our beds
Find the balance in our heads
Wishing we could make a change
See the morning coming in
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic

Www And Cute Puppies
WWW. And Cute Puppies
Our new deity, the internet, knows everything, It can be switched
on and off, but what we have seen and read, stay with us- dug
deep down in our souls. Truth has become a lie and a fib truth.
This cannot go on there can only be one reality, the official one;
anything else is sedition. The internet has to be harnessed in layers
of dogma – you are not permitted to view this site-unless you are
a high techno prince and need the whole picture. This is for your
sake, because you don’t understand and may well believe that
no plane crashed on the Pentagon and the war in Afghanistan is
a sham. Censorship is an ugly word, but we must help you to see
the light in the maze of information, channel you to the right path
to the trivial and healthy pornography…amen.

Hit The Highway
Your way
No way
Do it my way
Or hit the highway
Your way
No way
Do it my way
Or hit the highway
I respect your point of view
Youve got your thoughts
Ive got mine too
But youll be out of here
If I dont hear the words I want to hear
Your way
No way
You do it my way
Or you can hit the highway
Ive watched you
Backsliding
Then theres trouble
You, your always hiding
Now if I was in your shoes
I might look at me and think
Theres a fool
But Im not in your shoes
And I dont have to play
By your set of rules no no
Your way
Let me tell you that theres no way
No way you do it my way
Or you can hit the highway
Hit it again
Your way
No way
Do it my way
Or hit the highway
Im stating - not negotiating
You want more
Theres the door

Well, the right-wing policy with regard to Israel - the people who don't want to deal with Arafat, who don't want a Palestinian state - the whole sort of right-wing view is consistent with the view toward Iraq. It's the same policy and the same people.

The Internet has exceeded our collective expectations as a revolutionary spring of information, news, and ideas. It is essential that we keep that spring flowing. We must not thwart the Internet's availability by taxing access to it.

Internet safety begins at home and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet.

I think the Internet's been a tremendous tool in terms of breaking down the power structure of information and entertainment, particularly at a time when so much information and entertainment were in the hands of so few people, with multinationals owning everything.

Interconnectedness.
The internet can’t be controlled
by any form of government
Because it’s gained too strong a hold.
Which came about by accident.
Nobody can control the flow
Although some governments still try
Of information to and fro
There is one simple reason why.
The common man has access to
What governments try to conceal
A system that’s completely new
Now people can safely reveal
The secrets of the powers that be.
The things we aren’t supposed to know
they can post anonymously
There’s nothing governments can do.
At last the people have a voice
no government can suppress
The powers that be have little choice
and in the future even less.
The internet is here to stay.
It’s up to us we must adjust.
WE can’t go back to yesterday
A world of mutual mistrust.
One thing we must appreciate.
Though information’s flowing free
It isn’t always accurate
We have to choose selectively.
What we accept what we reject
and draw our own conclusion.
I have good reason to suspect
more not less confusion.
The internet may prove to be
Either a blessing or a curse.
Though I believe quite honestly.
The internet won’t make things worse
Than when governments could decide
What people were allowed to know
To preserve the nations pride
They lied alike to friend and foe.
The internet has set us free
to find a different better way.
Though we will have to wait and see
What kind of price we have to pay.

Two Ubiquitous Tragedies
Once Asylum was visited by a sage
And he saw two bonkers in a same cage.
And sage with a fazed face,
gazed in the oubliette
and heard both loonies
shouting, “Juliet”, “Juliet”.
And curious sage in a soft whimper
asked to a studious headshrinker:
“Why both have gone mad?
Why both appear sad?
Why one seems serious?
And other appears furious?
Headshrinker replied:
One Romeo failed to marry Juliet
Other’s marriage failed with Juliet.
And sage quipped:
There are two not three tragedies in a life
A life without a wife and life with a wife
