Questions for Town Meeting with Congressman?

Posted by Cliff on from the congressmen-being-dense-trying-to-pass-absurdities dept.

tongue asks: "I have the opportunity tomorrow to go to a town meeting with my Congressman, Gene Taylor (D, Miss.). I'd like to be able to ask several (preferably intelligent) questions regarding issues facing the technology industry today, on bills like the DMCA, SSSCA, etc; but I'm having trouble narrowing down the field. The research I've been able to do so far indicates a fairly conservative voting record, although I haven't had much luck finding a good site that summarizes a bill-by-bill voting record along with a synopsis of the bill." We did a similar question, last month about the CBDTPA which dovetails nicely with this issue. What questions about these and other questionable electronic laws passed over the last few years, would you like tongue to ask Senator Taylor?

    Ask him why he isn't doing more to stop the pirating of children's storybooks?

    Doesn't he know that if parents keep trading these books on Napster the authors will go hungry and find another line of work? If kids aren't reading, then they'll be on the street at night, we'll need a program of Midnight Storytelling to save the children.

    "Mr Senator...boxer or briefs? Choice of cigar?"

    Really, can these recently-submitted "Ask Slashdot" questions get any sillier and unimportant? Probably.
