With the advent of p2p, and programs like Peek a Booty and freenet. How could someone even attemt to enforce it? I think all this would do is to force the large internet isp, and content providers eg: yahoo, excite, google, to either filter their content etc.
Or, or what? How the heck would this be enforcable? Do you charge the isp with a crime if someone posts a hate crime on a news server?
We have gone way overboard since post 9-11. Perhaps we can try to give each other just a little slack, I don't care what you call me, what did my mom used to say? "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words..."
Enjoy your freedom to post while you can, pretty soon you might not have it.
Farscape is a continuing series on the Sci Fi Channel. Currently on the third series. It revolves around the story of John Crichton an astronaut who while testing a vehicle, designed to use the gravity well as propulsion, accidentally gets tossed into a wormhole.
Ok while the story is really good and all, THEY DON"T HAVE ANY BLOODY NEW EPS! Then next new ep, is supposed to air sometime in april.
