Hello One and All! I wanted to put the internet technology and it's lack of physical boundaries to good use, so I created a news style web site as a sort of 'shouting post' for everbody and anybody to write everything and anything about everything and anything. I got the inspiration after the recent events in Colorado with the school murders that took place, and the news coverage that followed, I felt that a lot of issues weren't dealt with in the press due to the sensitivity of the whole subject in the general public eye. Everybody seemed to use the situation to hammer home whatever 'wholesome' moral they felt closest to themselves, whilst avoiding questions that were dying to be asked, such as "How many years of psychological abuse through the form of lack of acceptance for not fitting in with the high shool 'norm' did these young men suffer before they did what they did?" "Why are papers and news stations focusing on the fact that these boys played violent computer games, instead of pointing out that a law created in 1789 (correct me if I'm wrong on that date) in the American Constitution is still providing people with the 'retail' ability to obtain lethal weapons that can have no other function than to take human life. "How many victims of bullying and harrassment in schools, cheered to themselves on the inside, on hearing the news that fellow victims had crushed one of the sources of their misery?" Questions like this rarely are discussed on a national/international level because newspapers and TV stations are business's and rely on popularity and public backing to survive, the last thing they are going to do is take the risk of alienating 80% of their readers/viewers by asking questions that many people don't want to have to face up to. And so, 'Speech' was born. All material posted on the site is free from censorship and is completely anonomous when published on the web. So please support me with this project, it's all about opinions and sharing them with the rest of the planet in the hope that people can ask each other the really important questions and speak their minds without fear of censorship or indeed anything more violent than a strong worded opposition to their thoughts being posted by somebody else with something to say a few days later. Tell your friends, just forward this mail on to everyone in your mailing list, and ask them to do the same with their friends, thanks for your support with this, I really think that it could go a long long way, the website is located at..... www.speech.free-online.co.uk There are instructions and guidelines on the site for posting your ideas and opinions. Keep well one and all, and keep talking.
