The Rev writes "Well after the previousarticles on this subject the BBC is carrying a story about how the UK Home Office has finally admited that the overwhelming public response to its public consultation was against the idea of a National ID Card System."
well...yes, it should. But it doesn't happen that way.
Orin Hatch is a case in point. If 60 million people download music, I'd be willing to bet that if the people voted for decriminalization of music sharing it would pass.
Do you think it will ever happen? NO. EVER.
There's not a representative or senator today who will take the other side and say the people should be allowed to download music if they want to. I'm not claiming the courts would accept this, but thats how "the people" would vote. But representatives can talk about destroying our computers with impugnity! This is not government for the people, by the people - this is government from the top down, by feudal decree. we don't matter in the least, and elections are just held to appease us.
