E-mail Accounts -- if you can get on the web - at a friend's, at a library, at a school, at an infoshop, wherever - you can get an e-mail account through this source. It's not very fancy, but it is free. This, and other similar sites now under construction come as a great relief to me, as I assume they will to many others troubled by the way the net can be economically discriminatory, further disenfranchising those already with limited financial resources. It doesn't by any means solve the problem completely, but it is a strong move forward, and suggests that other solutions may be forthcoming. Like this link, the next group deals with freedom of speech.
We've won the first round in the u.s., but the war's not over yet. The best weapon the censors have is complacency on our part. Or, as they used to put it back in highschool civics class, "Freedom requires eternal vigilance."
