Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA?
dave981 writes "Over at ZDNet, Declan McCullagh asks, 'Would John Kerry defang the DMCA?' Kerry's response: 'open to examining' whether to change current law 'to ensure that a person who lawfully obtains or receives a transmission of a digital work may back up a copy of it for archival purposes.' It's not clear, though, how serious Kerry truly is."
Probably, hell...Clinton got in office because he said he smoked pot, but didn't inhale!

I voted for Kodos
Don't be silly, Kerry may not like Texas, but it should be able to survive even if he wins.

Wait. Are you saying he's for anything that might get him a vote, but he's for getting the votes before he turns against it? Or is he not for it so much as to piss the people off who'd be against it, as long as he voted against it after he voted for it? In Soviet Russia, I hear they vote aga*WHAM WHAM WHAM*
My head hurts. Politics is so confusing these days.
Hmm, not sure if that was it.. I voted against him just for that, how can you be pro-environment when you waste green like that??
He's for anything that might get him a vote, but not so much that might piss the people off would be against it.
Here's my translation of what he said: "Right now, I'm devoting a great deal of time and study to that problem. And I intend to issue a position paper on that. A position that is at once simple, yet complex; firm, yet flexible; and above all, fair to every American."
Or maybe: "My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom."
Or perhaps: "Abortions for all. [crowd boos] Very well, no abortions for anyone. [crowd boos] Hmm... Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others. [crowd cheers and waves miniature flags]"
Yeah, but at least the Libertarian Party would advocate swallowing.

Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
You can tell Bush didn't write that. It didn't sound like him at all. That isn't the kind of stategery he...uh...it isn't comiserate with...uh...what he would write wouldn't have the same kick to it...
My Administration has launched the Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP) initiative to do just that.
Great, so disorganized pirates have nothing to fear.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
I agree. Strom Thurmond was a segregationist, then he wasn't. What a waffler. Since he changed his mind somewhere in the middle, I can't get a good read on him. I am so confused.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!

This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
For someone so against killing, you sure have a funny user name. :)

"or someone who takes a poll everyday and changes based on that data."
Funny, that almost sounds like democratic representation!
