All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive le poisson rouge sauvages!

Cyber safety is important and anyone opposed to mandatory filtering must be careful not to confuse the two. Filtering has nothing to do with safety. Maybe an interview with a Sydney EFA'er on Stil Live next week...
