Free Speech

David Harsanyi was at the top of his writing skills in his June 10 column in the Denver Post. He noted that President Obama does not want us to impose our values on other nations. One of our values is free speech. China now employs over 30,000 censors to block information to the 298 million internet users in that country. Their government is insisting that any company selling computers in China must agree to block out certain materials (porn, words like freedom and democracy, any mention of Tiananmen Square). Harsanyi concluded that the best thing we can do is sell the Chinese as many computers as possible, thus making it more difficult for the Chinese Communists to control the flow of information.
