Lawyering Up: Class 10, Wed, Period 2

"Nice to see you all back," Nathan said as he handed out the usual packets. "Today we're talking about Internet Law, or cyber law, as some people call it. We've already covered the practical problem of how internet technology moves too fast for precedent to keep up. Now let's talk about another problem with that technology: far too many lawmakers do not understand what the internet is. I can assure you that more than one member of Congress still thinks it's a series of tubes.

"So today I want you to pretend that you're trying to advocate for a law related to the internet where you have to find a way to explain what the internet is. Metaphors, diagrams, whatever it takes. Pair up and take turns being the politician who doesn't get it. Extra credit to anybody who figures out an actual law to argue for."

"Well, I suppose weird is better than disgusting," Dean observed.

Sam shook his head again. "I'm never going to be as comfortable with sex stuff as you are," he said. "Porn and things like it are always going to seem wrong to me."

"I'd say don't knock it till you try it, but I suppose little steps are the best," Dean said, clapping Sammy on the shoulder.

"How about non-existent steps?" Sam asked.

Dean ignored that and turned the subject back to their actual assignment. "So the internet's not just for porn, no matter what the song says. And it's a good research tool if you're a hunter. What else?"

"Socialization," Sam said. "Being able to meet people from all over the world and talk to them."

"Just stay off conspiracy boards and never accept info about secret government installations from strangers," Dean put in archly.

"Aww, the conspiracy boards are fun though," Sam said, laughing. "It's so much fun to see what those guys are believing today."

"Yeah, but you let it all go to your head," Dean told him, reaching out and ruffling Sammy's hair. "It would be a lot safer if you just looked at porn."

"Hey," Sam protested, trying to straighten his hair. "Porn is not safer, especially since I do a lot of my internet browsing in the library."

"Okay, the next time you come to the library, I'll show you the healthy side of the internet," Sam promised.

"There's more out there than the stuff you look at, and you might just find some of it interesting," Sam said.

"You're not going to show me study aides or law sites or anything are you?"
likethegun: (i'm smiling to the left)

Re: Classwork (3/19/08)

[personal profile] likethegun 2008-03-20 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"No. I'll show you funny sites and videos that aren't dirty."

"Zombie videos?" Hey, next to porn videos, zombie videos were the next best thing.

"I can find you zombie videos," Sam promised. There had to be some out there somewhere.
