Enjoy!
First, this Thomas Hart is your typical dickhead. He'd better pray to whatever god he worships he never crosses paths with Angsto the Clown. I have been known to tear off heads and shit down necks of pinheads like him. He and his ilk are the type that would deny the speech of others while blowing it out his ass and expecting all to listen and obey. Carlene has my undivided attention, love and turgid member to do with as she commands. Having dealt with nitwits like our Mr. Hart here in the armpit of Amerika, Columbus, Ohio I have personal experience to rely on. Hence the HUGE site within which I rant like no other. I have been called a one note clown for this. Thank you for that moniker, all you envious, sour grapes bastards. Check it out to see what it is to defend free speech for 4 long years against morons who do not understand the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. http://www.iwaynet.net/~angsto/angsto2.htm
Rod, (or are those your initials?)
Hart makes a few points in his article that I sorta agree with, but where's he going with it? E-mail that joker and tell him to finish the story. Like, everybody with a brain knows that the web ain't gonna solve this planet's problems, everybody knows that content is created as advertisement for corporate products, everybody knows (or will soon find out) that developing a high powered site costs big bucks. So what? What does Hart want the web to be/do/show? Any solutions or suggestions knocking around in his brain? Print 'em up.

Let me try to --- briefly --- respond to your critique: As I mention in the article, it was merely an extrapolation of an e-mail I sent to (now "my," it seems, but then) the publisher of this internet magazine. I never in my wildest dreams expected he would take me seriously. I never suggest that I expect the world wide web to solve the world's problems, my friend. I am merely suggesting that we are party to a hyped-up e-hoax on the part of the mealy-mouthed celebrators in our government and some of the writers of Wired magazine.
The Web seems to be my designated beat here, so if you stick around, Russ, I'm sure you'll get an idea of what I want the web to "be/do/show." Do we have a deal?
I don't like the latest changes in the G21 one bit! Two months ago, when I first found this site, it was fresh! New stuff every day, most of it funny and hip! Now you're turning into a fogey site --- who cares about Jerry Brown and Ted Kennedy, they're both has-beens! --- and the idea of not being fresh daily, like you used to claim, it sucks! Tell me this is just temporary!
