Beez: Forefathers Saw Web Future

Beez: It’s right there in the U.S. Constitution, for crissakes. The 1st Amendment, Section 2, clearly states that “In order to facilitate the free flow of ideas, no matter how ill-informed or moronic they may seem to most reasonable citizens, that will someday be transmitted on a magic electronic information network which has yet to be invented, the right to private cyber journaling shall not be infringed.” Those founding father dudes were WAY ahead of their time.

DFO: Beez was just cutting his teeth in the journalism biz when I met him in the early 1980s in one of the many newsroom’s I inhabited before landing in Coeur d’Alene. Now, I suppose, he’s a grizzled veteran, as they like to call those of us who’ve been in the news biz a coupla decades or so. Beez’s tongue was firmly cheeked when he wrote the piece above.)
