Decree I

hoping to spur my writing frequency, i've decided to start a new standing feature for my blog. i call it "If I Were World Czar".

the title explains it all. there are certain things that would cease to exist -- punishable by death by strangulation.

first order or business: websites are expressly forbidden from auto-playing music.

let's be honest, there are few things worse than visiting a site only to be bombarded by unexpected cacophony. speaking nothing of those times, when you are enjoying a nice track from a favored artist only to have it overlayed with some crap a web designer thought was cool two years ago when he put the site together.
