Morning Folks!!
When I dug up these words I wanted to memorialize them forever. It was my earliest writings online. It was my innermost feelings about this new medium and what it meant. It was historic. Of all the things I have ever written online, this is the paragraph I am most proud of and the true basis of my being.
'In cyberspace nobody knows if you are black or if you are white, if you are rich or poor, tall or short, fat or skinny, clean or dirty, handicapped or healthy, Christian or Jew etc., ....They know only two things....the content of what you have to say and a way to communicate effectively to people from all walks of life and from around the globe. Plus the value you put on your own character. Consisting of your credibility, your honesty, your integrity, and your devotion to do things the right way without taking advantage of others. This will be either your greatest asset or a liability that will inevitably be your downfall. You don't judge a book by its cover, In cyberspace you are judged by your content. Of course a nice cover such as a great domain name couldn't hurt.'
This is the way I am wired. That is how I view the universe. I deal with Facts and Reality and want to know and learn more.Those that have convenient memories, have to bend the facts to match their agenda will always be met with strong resistance from people like me.

I couldn’t agree more with the paragraph highlighted in bold.

So very true Rick! Which also reminds me of the classic cartoon from The New Yorker:”On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog”

Equality between Mens… That’s nicely said and truly from your heart.
There is probably nothing else which give more freedom and private space.
