Just have to put in a word on this: Please know that Mark's rhetoric does not match all Christians, nor even all conservative Christians; I would say it does not even match most. I am a Christian, but I well know that things can easily happen with/ to computers that allow it to bring up wrong things without you promoting it. Like you, I believe in teaching internet safety and website evaluation as a matter of common sense, not "hysteria and overreaction". Betsy Ruffin librarian-technologist Cleburne ISD Cleburne, TX betsy.ruffin@cleburne.k12.tx.us "In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us how to swim." Linton Weeks (Washington Post article, 13 January 2001, p. C01) It is the policy of Cleburne ISD not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender or handicap in its school programs, services, or activities. >>> Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG> 6/8/2007 8:11 AM >>> Hi folks. I have been sitting on some email messages that I exchanged with Mark Lounsbury, the so-called computer expert who told the jury in Julie's case that she had intentionally accessed these sites. Now that the motion for a new trial has been granted, I have chosen to make these public. You can read them on a blog written by Karoli, another person who has been active in the background on this case. Here is the URL: http://www.drumsnwhistles.com/2007/06/08/julie-amero-heroes-and-villains/ (And no, I am not just sending you here so you can read her statement: "Nancy is a brilliant and passionate woman, dedicated to educating others about safe internet use without hysteria and overreaction." And no, the image is not of me. ;-)) But here is a taster of the emails from Mark: Early on in my career I was lost. I didn¹t know what to do about people¹s inhumanity to people. Then I came home from work one morning and turned on the TV. One of those bible thumping shows was on and I watched it. I took one thing away from the preachings, KEEP THE FAITH. YOU and the rest of the herd have NOT done so. YOU have LOST the FAITH. You choose to accept the lies, the evil: FEEL THE POWER OF EVIL! You have decided to violate the COMMANDMENTS. For what I ask. I don¹t have that answer because I have the Faith. I do not judge. I seek the TRUTH, be it in my personal life or for humankind. I DARE you to look me in the face, to SEE what GOD sees: the FACTS. I dare you to continue to JUDGE ME! I ask GOD to show YOU the TRUTH, to have JULIE AMERO CONFESS the TRUTH. I Know that will never happen but, maybe I¹m wrong? Feel free to share this with the world. I invite the ignorant to test my FAITH. Read on, there is more. This entire incident has been the most bizarre affair I have ever been involved with. Nancy -- Nancy Willard, M.S., J.D.
