It points out three false hopes held by web 'libertarians.' 1. the web is too international to control. 2. the net is too interconnected to fence in. 3. the net is full of hackers that are impossible to control. This is a good read." Bingo.
A Texan went to Chicago and thought he would buy a new "city" outfit. He went into Marshall Fields and when asked by a sweet young woman if she could help him, answered, "Yes ma'am, ya see, I'm from Texas and I want to buy a complete outfit." Well, her eyes lit up as she asked, "Where would you like to start?"

There was once an old man and a parrot living all alone together for like 40 years. One day, the parrot came to the old man and said, "you know, I've never had a woman in my life."
So the old man, as a favour to his best friend, went to the pet store and talked the owner into letting him use a female parrot for one night for the fee of 40 dollars.
He took the female home, put it into the cage with his parrot, covered the cage and went to bed. He was awoken in the middle of the night to the female parrot screaming she was being killed. He ran out and pulled the cover off the cage. There he saw his male parrot ripping all the feathers off of the female.
"What are you doing?" the old man screamed.
The parrot replied, "Are you kidding, for 40 dollars, I at least want the bitch naked!"
Two buddies were sharing drinks while discussing their wives. "Do you and your wife ever do it doggie style?" asked the one.
"Well, not exactly." his friend replied, "she's more into the trick dog aspect of it."
"Oh, I see, kinky, huh?"
"Well, not exactly - I sit up and beg and she rolls over and plays dead."

Superman went in first, wanting to know if he was the strongest of all. A minute later he emerged from the sage's hut, shouting "Yes! I am the strongest!"
Natalie Portman then entered the place of wisdom, with the intention of asking whether she was the hottest chick of all. Less than a minute later, she came back, declaring "Yes! It's true, I am the hottest!"
Finally, Quasimodo went in to ask the sage if he was indeed the ugliest person on the planet. A minute went by. Then another. Superman and Natalie were getting worried. Almost an hour later, Quasimodo exited the hut, scratching his head, and asked "Who the fuck is Jon Katz?"
