And China’s Censorship Gets Slammed Because…
Friday, 28 September 2007
…the USA is so free? More from Save the Internet dot com (and watch the comments for the corporate lobbyists’ responses – they’re apparently paid to find posts like this, hit reply, and leave a tossed salad of obfuscations, red herrings, and straw men. Logic and debate teachers, help yourself to this real-world example. I’d [...]
