			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a New Taliban, and its Capital is Manila. A private <a href="http://www.filipinovoices.com/wp-admin/www.plurk.com" target="_blank">plurk</a> pointed me to <a href="http://johnsilva.blogspot.com/2008/09/stop-this-obscene-bill-anti-obscenity.html" target="_blank">John Silva&#8217;s thoughts and deeds on the anti-obscenity and pornography law filed by Villar</a>. I shall be direct: Senate Bill 2464 is idiotic, provincial and is religious fundamentalism at heart.</p>
<p><span id="more-735"></span></p>
<p><strong>Seriously? </strong></p>
<p>On top of everything else that needs our attention, this is one of those things our senators are busing their brains off on? Don&#8217;t we have better things to do with our time than to think about these things? Troubling financial markets, unemployment, education, health care not to mention, figuring out how best and how quickly to unshackle this nation&#8217;s dependence on Oil as well as freeing our people from the bondage of political enslavement.</p>
<p>Come on!</p>
<p>Maria Clara has one of the world&#8217;s most beautiful smile, if not the most beautiful. What she needs is the same as every other Filipino&#8212; economic freedom. Give her opportunities to use her brain. The answer is education, not obscenity laws.</p>
<p>Raise our people&#8217;s intelligence, please! Don&#8217;t blind our people to ancient ways. Let them decide for themselves what is obscene. Let parents be responsible to police their own kids. Let us create a people that can discern for themselves. Trust them to discern for themselves what is right and what is wrong.</p>
<p>The question of morality isn&#8217;t for the state to decide. It is religion. It is fate. It is about individual parents and families. The state needs to take care of things that individual people can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Then again, I often forget how idiotic, shortsighted our politicians are. On the other hand, how often does the Filipino forget, in a democracy, sometimes, people get offended?</p>
<p>Oh, one more thing, Manny Villar will not be getting my vote for any position whatsoever.</p>
