    Yep. "For The People" as long as the people are big business. And don't let Democrats fool you...
    they are really no less in support of business. Not where it counts anyway.

    Well in all fairness, you know that Disney and the RIAA are a bunch of homeless people because they can't hardly make a living any more :rolleyes:

    I hate to think I won't be able to build my own PC anymore because Mickey needs another million...

    /me imagines the whole internet being aol :shudder:


    hope it fails... it could be problematical if it doesn't.
    /me imagines multi billion dollar computer/internet economy crashing :/ leaving only the big guys :(


    glad i live here!... but if it goes thru in america i would be afraid of president blair copycating :(

    FOR GODS SAKE, DONT EVEN SUGGEST THAT!!!!!!!

    im going to lose sleep over this tonight:sigh:

    The good thing is, the founding fathers left a way for the people of our nation to legally change the government if it ceases to be a government for the people. Here is the first part of the Declaration of Independence;


    So you see, if the government becomes too corrupt, it is our right and duty to abolish it and start a new one. YAY:D Happiness is mentioned a lot, and i would be very unhappy if these laws passed

    sorry didn't mean to give you nightmares :p

    yeh yeh you may be able to overthrow the government... but think about it for a second.... prez bush will call you terrorists and send the B52s to all your home towns (i don't put it past him!)... despite the fact that i beleive freedom fighting or acts of resistance aren't classed as 'terrorism' under internetional law (which has a few implications for the middle east but the UN has no teeth :()

    Good luck. The use of force won't work and it certainly isn't going to happen through voting. Less than half of the population votes.
    I'd venture to guess less than half of the voters know what they are voting about or for.

    Received a letter from my House Representative today. Excerpts from the letter:
    Guess I need to find a Senator to forward my comments to. Typos are probably mine. :)

    Anyone else get a response, or even send anything?
