You want to punish someone forever from one mistake.
"It is hardly a radical notion to penalize felons long after they have left prison or completed parole. Laws deny ex-cons the right to hold office, to retain professional licenses (lawyers, for example, lose their ability to practice), or to serve as an officer in a publicly traded company. Felons, by law, can in some cases lose their right to inherit property, to collect pension benefits or even to get a truck-driving license. In fact, in most states, the loss of voting rights does not last as long as other prohibitions." John Lott, The Felon Vote
If they are only doing good and honest things, then (you would think) they should be delighted to be able to conclusively prove their innocence. Yet they want to delete the email? [...] Maybe they aren't so innocent, and the email tends to reveal their real intentions and actions.
What's the point in storing gigs of old e-mail that has no functional use? Why should you assume a company is guilty and they have to "conclusively prove their innocence?"
You'll note that BushCo is also very eager to control their little secrets, and I'd bet they'd be delighted to erase all of their email, too.
These guys are absolutely punishing my email servers and bandwidth.
Posting a link to your system on slashdot probably isn't going to help your bandwidth problem.

The end result... one worthless Federal law that trumps all of the state laws.
Federalism: A system of government that creates a central government and local state governments. The powers of the national and state governments are divided and balanced.
There's nothing wrong with putting business interests first, as long as customers have the option to go elsewhere. [...] This is the essense of the problem with MS. Not that they are a business, but that they have a monopoly.
Apple, Sun, IBM (AIX), Linux, *BSD, etc. Mozilla, Safari, Opera, Lynx, etc. What monopoly are you talking about?
a lot of people seem to forget the "something you are" form
Did you even read the grandparent post? It said:
Something you have can also be known as "something you are," and includes physical or physiological characteristics such as a fingerprint or vocal patterns.
Your post should be: +2 Informative For Something That Was Just Stated (also known as redundant, which is minus points)

Congress is able to regulate slander, libel, and defamation.
Congress can do only what the Constitution allows it to do. With regard to regulating speech, Amednment I states: Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press [...]. Show me where that authorizes regulation of any of the things you mentioned, in addition to what the FEC is doing.
Congress allows local governments to pass laws regulating obsenity.
The Constitution allows this (see Amendment X.)
The founding fathers never intended to protect criminals against libel and such.
They should have wrote it down then. Seeing that they didn't, but they did provide a way to amend the Constitution, then by all means retulate all the speech you want. Just pass an amendment to allow it.
all you need to ask for is if there's anything in the contract that you need to know.
IANALE, this certainly isn't legal advice, but I would imagine the suits at any place that deals in contracts/releases like that should have educated the workforce that the proper response to "Is there anything I need to know?" is "Yes. Read the whole thing."
I imagine that if tested in court, EULAs would be considered in the same realm.
So you have to call up the software manufacturer and ask "Is there anything I need to know in this EULA?" Might as well read the damn thing while I'm on hold. And they should just say "Yes, read the whole thing."
Yes, well here in the Home of the Brave (i.e. USA), we allow our local/state/federal government to do whatever the large corporations want.
Quick quiz.
#1 Large Corporations cast how many votes in the last local/state/federal election:
A. zero - only individuals can vote
B. 1/corporation/election - because corporations can vote
C. millions - the number of dollars spent on election stuff
D. Whatever Cowboy Neal says
#2 Individuals cast how many votes in the last local/state/federal election:
A. zero - only corporations can vote
B. 1/person/election - perfect turnout
C. millions - the number of voters that turned out
D. Whatever Cowboy Neal Says
The fact is that you (or maybe just me, since I actually vote) have infinately more influence on the electoral process because you can vote. Candidates don't get into office unless they get votes. Candidates also don't lose their seats unless someone else gets votes. No matter how much money a big corporation, George Soros, or the NRA spends on an election, it's the votes that are counted.
I mean, it isn't even a topic of debate outside the US, people accept it as fact.
I don't need the comfort of a society to think for myself. I don't think humans are responsible for "global warming" on Earth any more than we are for "global warming" on Venus.
Maybe we're having "global warming" because we were just in cold period in earth's climate history? Maybe you should focus your effort on teaching the non-US world statistics ?
