No writing implements?

Monday, June 14, 2004 at 06:47PM

I never thought I’d comment on Big Brother, but when I learned that the inmates aren’t even allowed writing implements inside, I am convinced that the place is completely inhumane. I can’t imagine a life where I can’t write, whether on paper or on the computer.

I suppose that the restriction serves a couple of goals of the producer. (1) no passing notes from inmate to inmate: all communication must be picked up by the microphones. (2) no writing of diaries (and all that that entails).

Oh, hey, Merlin Luck’s protest was great. Good on him.

Contrariwise, if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic!
