If I spoke as good English as you do, I would be more grateful to poor speakers like the rest of us. Indeed, it is thanks to our English that yours stands out and you can impress your interlocutor, right?
You are right, though, that the poster should not blame the State but just do something about it. If he cares, that is.
It depends on which country you are from. E.g. Spain has already voted, other countries will vote, yet others have ratified it without a referendum.

Anyway, if I were to vote I would not base my vote on this episode. I would try to read the Constitution and uderstand whether is a good or a bad one. This is a typical example why a referendum on the European Constitution is a bad idea. But that's another story...
Actually, the Commission proposed the draft directive and McCarthy as member of the Juridic Commitee was appointed by the same Commitee as rapporteur to prepare a report on the draft proposal. The report suggested amendments and was then presented to the Parliament for discussion and vote.
This is the draft version of June 18, which is the one that was supposed to be voted on on 1st September. That vote has been postponed and new changes have been made.
Let's wait the real thing, before commenting any further.
I am strongly against a license (which you couldn't enforce, anyway), but I think safe computing should be indeed part of every school curriculum. You don't need a license to be a pedestrian, but every child is thought how to walk safely in the city traffic. Same should be for safe use of technology. It's basic education. It will come, I hope, and within one or two generations the Net will be a safer place.

The guy neverd mailbombed the account. His post was a joke. See his next post in that thread.

I use WREQ. I like the fact that it can generate statistics, which allows you to evaluate your productivity. It's highly customizable.
The doc is multilingual, and OpenOffice works quite well ;)
Here are the results, motion by motions, with who voted what. I hope we are all grown up enough to not start harrassing MEPs
