I think the Point of the NEW Legislation is to Correct this Previous Glaring Flaw in the Supreme Court's Irrational Conclusions about the Nature of Privacy and the efficacy of having a First Ammendment. Hopefully after we have been able to Upgrade the On-Line Community so that Any Offensive Material Will be Banned, and anyone contravening the Ban Has been Arrested and sent to the New Relocation Facilities, we will be able to look at the Problem of other Media, and in this way hopefully arrive at the point where those who Fail To Turn In anyone who is suspected of Thought Crimes will be Detained as clearly Dangerous Enemies of the State! You will, of course, note, that the Fine Folks in Tennasee have already been able to Arrest and Prosecute SexDeviants who had a bulletin board in California..... Why should the InterNet be any LESS PROTECTED than the rest of the country from the Threat of UnBridledThought???? ciao drieux --- This is Not a .sigfile addendum to the Post.
