DOGMA #4
Beware and keep aloof from anybody selling you any kind of dogma.


The beauty of the Net is having a tool where anybody can express 
itself in the most unpredictable form.
The Net not only is a place where people communicate, but a way to 
perform, to invent and to share a new language.
This new language that all of us are modifying day-by-day, in its 
geometrical shape and abstract thought.

The Net is at the beginning of its life.
This language is very young and how beautiful it is to see how each 
of us provides new approaches for the use of it, and this work is 
done so the community can enjoy and keep transforming it.

This philosophy is what most all of us believe and belongs and fight 
to be able to have: freedom.

The freedom of the knowledge.

The access to the knowledge is what religions of any kind are afraid of.

Any time a lost sheep asks "why?" here it comes SOMEONE that says:
  "Stop thinking: I have a rule for you, now you must follow this rule 
and if you will do not, you'll be different, you'll be the black 
sheep. You'd BETTER follow this rule".

Those rules are also called DOGMA and rules are given by who are 
eager to reach for power.
And sometimes it works!!!   There are a lot of sheep in need of a shepherd.

I am very surprised that people, young people, that usually stand up 
crying out loud for freedom of expression, that defines themselves as 
open minded are only behaving with the most basic language ever used 
to guarantee themselves personal success, and power.

Those words I have read here below, aside the fact to be in total 
contradiction of the image this people wants to give of themselves 
and the role they cover, reminds me something very old: Greed and 
search for power.
Rubbish, pure rubbish.  Are we in back Syndacate or what?

No. Thank you. I do not personally need your dogmas, and I am looking 
forward for ANY new way of expression the Net is able to create.

Either you have chosen the wrong list to give orders, either I have 
mistaken this list as a platform to share knowledge.

Sorry for the syntax of my English but it is not my native language.
