Cults are now up there with pedophiles, pornographers, and cryptography-
savvy terrorists as the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse. Expect more
sensationalism from the press, ranting from the Religious Reich, and
Congressional hearings about Cults on the Internet.
And, though I think the Supremes will find the CDA unconstitutional,
similar bills will continue to be introduced until one manages to squeak
through the courts.
(Fortunately, everybody here knows the comet is really a celestial
harbinger of TRP's forthcoming seedy novel, right?)
