The movie Doctor Zhivago begins with " crazy " Pasha - the
future Red Guard general - distributing seemingly pathetic
leaflets in Moscow Square. The Czarist secret police are unamused :
they confiscate his leaflets. But when the " pigs " are out of
sight, he finds more leaflets hidden in his winter coat.
" They'll sing in tune after the revolution ! " a sinister
character jokes .
Most Americans will at least admire Pasha's FREE SPEECH
effort -if not its future consequences.
Pasha would have loved to have what I have for
FREE - The Ocean State Free Net and ubiquitous public library
computers.
I am working on the concept of the " Cyber- Pamphleteer ".
I do electronically what Pasha attempted to do in the heroic,
but old fashioned. And I do it with a thousand times more
efficiency.
When I wish to communicate a brief opinion - which
guarantees reading - I select HUNDREDS of OSFN e-mail addresses
at random. It takes only minutes to MASS MAIL !
Often I get immediate feedback : " Don't bother me today.
I'm too busy ! " Or " Viva La Revolucion ! "
I 'm not exactly The New York Times in credibility. But
nothing to sniff at either. I think !
