Censorship can be a very dirty word. People in America tend to want to know the truth about our world and what’s in it. That’s why some are worried when we heard about the Italian judges who found three Google executives responsible for a video. The video contained images of an autistic child being bullied by his classmates.

Google says that it was unaware of the content of the video and took it down after complaints were heard. The whole incident leads to a question of whether Google is responsible for the information on its site and whether or not they will have to start censoring material. I hope this won’t be the case and free speech is allowed to reign.

A buddy of mine has a blog and I just came across it today. He says he writes on his laptop when he’s got the time.

So I wanted to give a shout out to Clay. He doesn’t write all that often, but then, neither do I. So it’s all good.

Great news for the “Who Dat” nation. The New Orleans Saints have won their first Super Bowl victory by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. After getting off to a slow start, the Saints rallied to win the game convincingly. Heroes of the game include their quarterback Drew Brees and their field goal kicker Garrett Hartley who kicked a record setting three 40+ yard field goals.

There is little need to describe the party after the game on Bourbon Street. Folks throughout Louisiana celebrated well into the night. There will be a parade on Tuesday and expect the party to be massive. I say congratulations to the Saints on their victory.

When a meteorite lands on the earth, it becomes the property of whoever’s land it lands on. This has already been established by courts in the U.S. Such was the case of a local landlord where a meteorite fell in Virginia. The landowner has declared his intention to sell the rock to the highest bidder at auction. These rocks can be worth thousands of dollars and are collected avidly by collectors.

Meteorites can also be donated to the National Museum of Natural History that houses the world’s largest collection of space rocks. I think that is the most rightful place that these rocks could end up. Allowing the public to view these relics of the birth of space is only fair.
