    The idea is, if enough people block the websites in question with "blackmail site" as the reason, Google will delist them from their search results.

    $10 says this law doesn't trump the freedom of Association that enshrined in the US Constitution. It will fall with the first challenge.

    Sorry, but those steps aren't really comparable to the two clicks it takes to white-list something in with NoScript / Firefox.

    The constitution limits what the government can do, not what you can't do. However, the US Supreme Court has declared that the "Right to Privacy" is inherent from the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 9th & 14th Amendments.

    ESRI updates it & good luck holding anyone "responsible" for ZIP code data.

    Just try to get a list of 5-digit zipcodes/city names from the post office so you can do some simple validations on data entry. I believe that list starts at around $3000, must be updated quarterly, and you cannot resell it as part of your software

    You're getting ZIP code data from the wrong place for starters. I can get it from ESRI for the (already paid) cost of my GIS software license.

    You could do all of this with a proper GIS setup. I don't know where you'd get the tax area data, but I'm betting the government either already has it or could make it fairly quickly.

    But when a prevailing symptom among many Salvia users is thinking "nothing has a purpose" and "there is no reality", long after the drug is removed from your system (months/years), there is no way that can be a good thing.

    The only problem with the ACLU is that they not only do not focus on the second amendment, they officially do not consider it to be a civil liberty.

    It would be fine if they focused only on their specific issues, as there are other organizations dedicated to defending the second, but to deny that infringement on the second amendment is not a violation of civil liberties is wrong.

    I don't see it as a huge deal considering the NRA & CCRKBA both dwarf the ACLU in membership.

    NRA = 4.3 million members
    CCRKBA = 650000 members

    ACLU = 500000 members

    *using the numbers from each groups website.

    Yeah it would be nice if the ACLU was for liberty across the board, but the way I figure it the more groups we have working towards these goals in total, the better off we are.

    A few. Let us recount:

    1.) They try to shoehorn their expensive proprietary media formats (MiniDisc, UMD, Memory Stick, Betamax, Blu-Ray) into any product they can.

    2.) They ruined Star Wars Galaxies with the "New Game Enhancements" & "Combat Upgrade".

    3.) They sued Lik-Sang out of existence for daring to sell Japanese PSPs & games to other countries.

    4.) They manufactured exploding batteries & sold them to other laptop vendors.
