(The One-fingered Mudra of
Contempt) This one-fingered mudra of contempt, accompanied by a hearty "Fuck you!" is for everyone in Congress who ever voted in favor of censorship, including Maryland Senators Mikulski and Sarbanes.

Fuck the Communications Decency Act in the Ass 'Till It Bleeds


This page is a form of civil disobedience against the grossly misnamed "Communications Decency Act" of 1996.

All right you motherfuckers, pull your heads out of your asses, piss on your face to clean the shit off your eyes and read this, an essay by Steve Russell which sums it up nicely, and which is in deliberate violation of the CDA. Link to it or to its original site, or copy it to yours, and join the ranks of thought-criminals.

You can also try a little poem on the net and the CDA I wrote; since it contains the phrase "fucking assholes", putting it on the net is a fucking federal crime.

Censorship is more filthy than any pornography could ever be. If the only thing that sets us apart from the other apes is an advanced capacity for language and communication, than any attempt to reduce our communication can only be seen as an attempt at forcible de-evolution. The CDA is not just a bad law; it's an attempt to stop the development of the human species. It must not be allowed to stand.


But if I called you a bunch of goddam motherfucking cocksucking cunt-eating blue-balled bastards with the morals of muggers and the intelligence of pond scum, that would be nothing compared to this indictment, to wit: you have sold the First Amendment, your birthright and that of your children. The Founders turn in their graves. You have spit on the grave of every warrior who fought under the Stars and Stripes. - Steve Russell on Congress and the CDA.


If you can't say "Fuck," you can't say, "Fuck the government." - Lenny Bruce

The Comm. Decency Act is not about child porn, it is not about protecting children from online stalkers, and it is not about illegalizing online pornography. All of these are *already illegal*, online or offline.

The Comm Decency Act is a ban on "indecent" material online. "Indecency" is not obscenity (pornography). Indecency can most easily be described as what makes a PG-rated movie PG instead of G. Indecency is the word "piss" (which occurs at least 7 times in the King James Bible). Indecency is material that is protected under the first amendment, even though some people find it offensive to one degree or another. - http://www.eff.org/BlueRibbon/skeptical.html


As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - The Constitution of the United States of America

There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here - you seven... Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? "That's a bad word." "Awwww." There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions.

And words, you know the seven don't you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. - George Carlin

[Frighteningly, there's really not such a definite list. They can make it up as they go along. See The Playboy Interview: George Carlin. - tms]


[My mother] looked me straight in the eyes and said:

"For Centuries our people have been the victims of intolerance. The price of our freedom is the burden of having to accept the worst in public expression. For he who starts censorship will never know where and when to stop". - Philippe Kahn


Dig also:


Apologies for the offensive language, but it's the best form of protest right now. (At least, short of a public disembowelment of the piss-slurping shit-brained cockroaches responsbile for the CDA.)
