Libraries Asked To Destroy Reports, Databases
unix guy writes: "Our good friends and protectors in the U.S. Gov't have decided that what we used to know we can't know any longer. This LA Times story talks about libraries being ordered to destroy existing government reports and data sources in the name of homeland security." Is it really a fair trade to give up readily-available information about "airports, water treatment plants, nuclear reactors and more"?
We have always been at war with Afghanistan. We have always been allies with Russia.

Of course I do. Only the shadow knows....
Now with all this crap going around, gnutella will not only have porn, mp3 and DiVX-encoded movies and warez going around... it'll be jammed with blueprints and engineering stuff...
I'm sure it's all a big plot to clug the bandwidth so people stop leeching warez and vids and go buy them for all the trouble it'll take to get them for free...
...brilliant...
heh

Whatcha goota do is to get rid of cars. Automotive accidents cause 6 yimes as many deaths each year as did the disaster of sept 11. Further, you gotta think how much crime this would stop in general. Are you gonna rob a bank and do a getaway on a skateboard? And terrorists, if you can't have cars, you can't have air travel cuz you can't get to the airport. Whatcha gonna do? Crash a scooter into the pentagon. As usual, the silly government goes for the easy target...
Sex is heriditary, if your parents didn't have it chances are good you won't either.
Remove all the information after its published, cached, archived, and probably already been read by anyone planning to use it soon should be most effective. The next step is to try and outlaw the information itself, because we know that if its illegal to possess the information, the terists will just hand over what they have and miraculously forget what they already read, just like if we outlaw strong encryption.
Maybe we should just get to the heart of the matter and outlaw terrorism. Oh, wait...
Liberty in your lifetime
Didn't you hear? They ratified the 28th Amendment today:
Amendment 28
1. This amendment officially renders Amendments 1 through 27 invalid, unless otherwise specified with an executative order.
2. All existing states shall be consolidated into 5 milirary districts, for the purposes of control. All state Constitutions are hereby invalid.
3. Christanity is the only permitted religion in the United States. Any attempt to practice atheism or any other religion shall be considered treason. Any violation of the 10 Commandments shall be punishable by death.
4. The Supreme Court and Congress shall disband immediately. The Executative Branch and the military shall assume control of government functions.

P.S. - I bet Ashcroft is having a wet dream just thinking about this.
The horse is gone ??? !!!!
Come on, it's plainly obvious how it would have worked:
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
