The fight for free speech is getting harder, not easier. The internet can be monitored in ways print never could be. Amnesty is working to stop the use of the web as a tool of repression. Click on the link to Amnesty. Please do what you can.

That's why I'd rather blog
than just post rants to a website.
I also don't mind links to your site
so long as there is some relevance.
