CISPA 3.0: the Senate's New Bill As Bad As Ever
Daniel_Stuckey writes: "CISPA is back for a third time—it has lost the 'P,' but it's just as bad for civil liberties as ever. The Senate Intelligence Committee is considering a new cybersecurity bill that contains many of the provisions that civil liberties groups hated about the Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Most notably, under the proposed bill companies could not be sued for incorrectly sharing too much customer information with the federal government, and broad law enforcement sharing could allow for the creation of backdoor wiretaps. The bill, called the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014, was written by Senate Intelligence Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) and is currently circulating around the committee right now but has not yet been introduced. Right now, the bill is only a 'discussion draft,' and the committee is still looking to make revisions to the bill before it is officially introduced."
The problem with terms like these is that they make it seem as if the parties aren't filled with these scumbags, but they are; the parties themselves are evil. This isn't just a few people; it's the entire parties.
Read George Washington's Farewell Address.
Despite what they teach kids in Elementary School, The United States is not a "2-Party System". It wasn't created that way and hasn't been that way since. There have always been more than 2 active parties, and while there have usually been 2 "main" parties, they haven't always been the same 2 parties.
Political parties, for the most part, are bullshit. They're little more than gangs made large. While most democracies may have them, I have yet to see any argument that they've actually, in the long run, benefitted anybody.
