Why TV is rubbish

The very fact that you can censor movies in the cinema, on video and on TV only shows how flawed these old media are. TV is simply far too easy to control. Around the world, every dictatorship and oppressor uses state control of TV to spread government lies and suppress the news. Across the unfree world, state TV is the voice of the oppressor, and the spreader of lies, just as Orwell imagined it would be. In the disturbing new world of the Internet, governments everywhere must be longing for the return of TV.

Abortion

Abortion I find a difficult question. I have no problem with the destruction of sperm, eggs, or a newly fertilised egg, or very early embryos in research. I do have a problem with the destruction of a viable fetus. I do have a problem with the destruction of a fetus that feels pain.

This is about the definition of what life we protect. Why do we not protect chimpanzee life? Would we protect Homo erectus life if they had survived? (*) Would we protect Homo erectus unborn life? If all living things that ever existed were alive today, which would we protect?

This is the same basic question as animal rights and vegetarianism. What right do we have to kill any living thing?



(*) In fact, they nearly did survive! See Homo floresiensis.
Or maybe not. Homo floresiensis may be just a Homo sapiens individual with microcephaly.
