    Someone, quick, post something insightful that will make me care about the centuries old story that libraries will archive whatever new medium comes along.

    It certainly helps one's case when debating whether we were misinformed about circumstances in pre-war Iraq if we have an archive of materials to cite.

    Actually, this bill has only a single sponsor at this point: the one who introduced it. He's a representative of New York, so a district somewhere in New York State elected the idiot.

    My proposed addition to this bill: when a warrantless wiretap is conducted by the NSA, they are required to play the sound of the Constitution being ripped up into little pieces and then burned.

    Do you want to be the one recording that particular sound file?
