Hi all, this is my first post.
I know this is off topic, but upon reading this it struck me that the Australian government are quite daft when it comes to the law. I mean I was watching the telly the other day and up pops John Howard; he was saying he's looking at changing the law to stop HIV-positive people coming to Australia. I don't know what you might think but I think the moral implications are scary. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/SYD219295 .htm
As far as I'm concerned forcing Internet providers to cut off their customers is out right stupidity. I was reading about this push to revamp the internet and the first thing that struck me is, they're going to force the world to go underground, I mean how many internets do we need? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070413/ap_on_hi_te/re building_the_internet
I think most people are decent enough, and will do what they can get away with by and large, but once you open a big door like the internet, I can't see most people being satisfied with it being slammed in their face.
