Ch. 1 and 2

Chapter 1

chapter one had some interesting ideas. The guy who was talking about national ID cards had some very sound logic. I particularly was interested in the story about the muslim woman Sultana. She was fighting on the premise, that it was primarily a card to ensure one's legal ability to drive, and only secondarily serving as identification in certain situations. The DMV however, ran on the idea that as a Florida citizen, she was required, like everyone else, to remove extra coverings from their heads.

Chapter 2

This chapter was suprising of course, but also very thought provoking. The debate on pornography is an extremely abstract battle. Many can hardly even think of a definition for what is "porn" literally. If this isn't figured out, you can't clearly define boundaries between art or porn, cute childhood photograph or pedophile goldmine. For such a silly and crude subject like porn, it's an extremely expansive, politically charged moral interrogation.
