Students, ISP Sue Diebold

Quixotic1 writes "The campaign against Diebold that began as electronic civil disobedience took an exciting turn today as the EFF announced that they were filing suit against Diebold for abuse of copyright claims. They will be representing Swarthmore College students and the ISP Online Policy Group, who hosted and linked to copies of controversial internal memos."

I prefer voting. The revolutionary business doesn't pay well, and the hours suck.

I would join the revolution, but I have to mail in my mortgage payment by 5pm today.

How do you turn a hippie into a conservative?

Give him a 30 year fixed mortgage.

BUT if the revolution is successful, you will have no more mortgage to pay, because the landowning classes will be sent to the camps and the banks nationalized. You will be spared as a victim of the oppresive capitalist financial system.

Unless you don't join, in which case you will join the others in the camps, since your mortgage clearly indicates your corrupt desire to join the oppressive landowning classes.

If the revolution fails, and you didn't join it, you will probably not have to go to the camps, but your mortgage will be doubled so you can prove the earnestness of your desire to join the unassailable landowning classes.

Of course, if it fails and you DID join it, you will end up in the camps with the revolutionaries, who will beat you every day because you dithered in your commitment, due to a mortage no less, and thereby hastened the demise of the revolution.

It doesn't look real good for you either way...
