Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech
MacDork writes "As most /.'ers know all to well, Copyright is increasingly being used as a means to suppress free speech these days. And the trend has not been lost on our 2004 US Presidential candidates. Both George and John are using copyright law to 'vaporize' information considered embarrassing or harmful to their campaigns. Don't worry about basing your vote on copyright issues though. Like most other domestic issues (gay marriage: no, offshoring: yes), their stance is pretty much identical (i.e. pro Hollywood)."

Paizurishitetai desu ka?
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

"Volunteered ... hm ... and he was there how long? 4 months? And most people were there how long?"
I don't know about most people but George Bush was there for zero months. Too bad the air national guard was not handing out purple hearts for falling down drunk or visiting the dentist.
evil is as evil does
Also consider that both parties are becoming more and more evil.
Do you think that I was as evil as George W Bush?
Heck, do you think I was as evil as John Kerry?
It is time for a real change. Vote Nixon 2004!
I'm much less evil that the politicians of the 21st Century.
Nobody died when Nixon lied.
I'm meeting you half way you stupid hippies!
Least in the UK we still have parties which are diferent, we have Bad, Worse, and Terrible :)
