I don’t support the Americains, who I think are overzealous in their protection of the First Amendment, which itself seems a little fuzzy in this day and age (really, did our forefathers foresee the existence of something like High speed presses, Television and the Internet? Should that matter? I think it should). I’m fully in favor of making those who want to write and publish obtain registrations and licenses and submitting all works for approval before the public can see it. I think information should be carefully tracked and watched over. May you sit comfortably on your petard. Look, I’m no fan of writers myself.
