Michigan First With A Law That Could Outlaw VPNs

zaren writes "Holy frell, Taco, we're gonna be criminals! I was checking out Freedom to Tinker after reading the posting about that multi-state anti-VPN-style legislation, and I saw a new posting that says that Michigan has ALREADY passed such legislation, and it goes into effect on MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2003 . Guess I better tighten down the base station and batten down the hatches..."

Unfortunately, in this day and age, it may no longer be a joke. Hopefully Bush won't decide to invade Europe, once he's done with Iraq.

Something tells me he likely won't be done by April 1st, so I think the EU is safe for a month or two, at least.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

USA = Third Reich..my prediction for the year 2010

Land of the free and the home of the brave...what utter crap. Do you not realise you'll have no freedoms soon and these are all being eroded because your Govt is crapping themselves? Anything that cannot be totally controlled and monitored by the U.S Govt is therefore deemed illegal as it might be used for terrorism. The U.S is slowly becoming worse that the USSR ever was. If the U.S Govt don't like something, they just completely bypass the constitution by including it in "The War on Terror". Dumbass Redneck Merkin buys it hook line and sinker and assumes it must be OK if it is for "The War on Terror" anmd to question it would be unpatriotic. There are startling similarities between what the current administration is doing and the actions the Third Reich took prior to starting WW2. Is G.W. Bush actually Adolf Hitler re-incarnate? I think so. The evidence mounts up. 1) WE good, everyone else bad. 2) Incarcerate people we don't like without charge. Deny them their rights. 3) Instil fear in the populous about a mass invasion from the impure (i.e non Christian Americans). 4) Erode liberties in the name of "righteousness" (War on Terror) 5) Declare war. Bush more than showed his hand when he came out with the immortal words "If you're not with us, you are against us". But I can say that because I'm not American and don't have to worry whether the "Home Guard" or whatever they call themselves are going to come kicking down my door because I dare to question El Presidente Bush.

concealed weapon vs. cocealed network

The difference between the two is; NOBODY would try to steal your non concealded weapon..

America seems to be ruled by NRA people as opposed to NAT people :-)
