Hello John and all,<br>
<br>
Tip 1: Due to one of my previous works I have been able to check the
"log" of huge servers here in Peru.<br>
I was looking for technical reasons for some weird behaviour on a small
network. Then, suddenly, I realize<br>
that the word "sex" and "sex related" websites were all over the log. I
check randomly about 20 pages and<br>
in 20 different days and it was the same. I can roughly calculate that
more than 70% of the use on this<br>
servers were related to sex (Huge Hefner was the one that start this
commercialization in the U.S. but in<br>
old Peru we had an anncient civilization, named Mochica, that
manufacture old ceramics with very explicit<br>
sex ceramics, we have them in all museums. You can imagine the face of
the Spaniards conquerors (that<br>
were ruled by their holly inquisition when they realize these old
Peruvian fellows kept "sex related<br>
ceramics" in every house)... There are thousands and thousands of "sex
ceramics" all gymnastics that you can <br>
imagine or dream! <span class="moz-smiley-s14"><span> O:-) </span></span>
The kamasutra is a boring book in comparison (these ceramics are 3D!)
... Well... just for been <br>
more specific, my old and dear "Mochica" civilization develop a huge
civilization, very developed, but... <br>
they eat the heart of the prisioners too (like the Aztecs in Mexico).
Tip 1: Times change... but SEX keeps on<br>
the field play in all times.<br>
<br>
Tip 2: I was in a small, very small village in the high Andes, around 3
years ago. I was in an very isolated<br>
town, around 1,000 families approximately (so there was an Internet
Cafe). I was not able to avoid<br>
noticing a group of 7 kids (around 10 to 14 years old). Big noise, big
smiles, laughing... then I heard<br>
and realize that they were checking the net for "nude women"... and I
got surprised when I "open ears"<br>
very wide (like the rabbit ears on the XO) and I realize that the
search was very specific: they were<br>
looking for blonds! only blonds! Tip 2: It happens in the best
families and in all environments.<br>
<br>
Tip 3: About 4 months ago I have read a report about what are the
"most searched words by country:"<br>
uhmmm... I don't want to offend any nationality... but... in Peru is
"sex" (I am innocent!), in U.S. was<br>
"girl" or "chick" (you just want to talk...)... in France it was "gay"
(they are looking for more fun... I guess!)<br>
... I was surprided to realize that in Chile it was "gay" too... (my
Chilean friends... just coming out from<br>
the closet?)... and the list continues... Tip 3: It comes to your door
in many forms and flavors.<br>
<br>
My conclusion, from those experiences, is that deviation from what we
can see as our intended goal <br>
(education) is very near and knock our door all time.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

It is sufficient if we clearly obey the law, and don't seek

<pre wrap="">Any lawyers around? "go beyond" implies "interpret" -- the only

I was contacted by Julie Lindner of the EFF about this issue after
a previous thread on devel. I described the situation about three
weeks ago, and asked if EFF could clarify what is needed (and
what laws apply). She hasn't replied yet (I imagine the EFF is
busier than OLPC.)
If you want to contact her let me know and I'll forward her email
address.
