CRTC New Media Hearings
Some parents of children allergic to peanut want to ban it from
school lunch and other public places. Obviously it is not practical
and unfair to others. It is far more effective to prepare special diet
for their children and train them not to eat food from any other
sources. The same principle applies to the Internet. The Internet is
not a toy. It is a very important tool for the general public and it
should not be limited in any way. Parents and teachers should
supervise their children on the Internet or check what web sites the
children have visited.
Once I submitted a manuscript to an AIDS journal for
consideration. It was accepted for publication after peer review. But
it was not published as promised. I wrote the editor a letter
requesting a written reply. In his letter, he stated that my work was
highly controversial, he must decline to publish it and he apologized
for the delay. I have since published the manuscript as "The Cause
of AIDS" Chapter 2 in a booklet entitled "AN ALTERNATIVE
APPROACH TO AIDS AND RELATED PROBLEMS: BOOK 2."
But distribution of my booklets is always a problem. Now I rely on
the Internet to express my view. This is the only means of free
speech I can afford and I do not want it regulated, controlled,
limited, or changed in any way.
