Child Porn Law Debated in Court |

Blocking access to websites doesn't interfere with free speech because Internet addresses aren't real, according to the Pennsylvania attorney general's office. After receiving notice, an ISP has five days to block users' access to the website. Failure to comply carries fines of up to $30,000 and jail terms of up to seven years. But attorneys for the CDT argued that over 1 million websites that do not contain child pornography have also been blocked since the attorney general's office started sending out notices to ISPs in April 2002. Apparently URL adresses are magical. And you should burn down the whole strip mall if it has one porn shop. Child Porn Law Debated in Court |

Enjoy. We need another Bill Hicks. I'm not going to be able to survive this war on terrorism without one. The download site appears broken (overloaded?) right now, but I'm meme'ing the main page anyway so I remember to check it later. Its probably down because it started getting linked everywhere.. I'm going to give it a few days. Its worth waiting for. Bill Hicks Bootleg Downloads |

Put this in your pipe and smoke it at your own risk: Terrorists could poison drug supplies and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration probably can't do anything about it. Politicos have warned that dirt-cheap, high-potency heroin will soon flood world markets and cause an epidemic of overdoses in the wake of the Taliban evacuating opium supplies before the first bombs hit Afghan soil. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Drugs and Terror fight back... How Safe Are Your Illegal Drugs? |

Wow. The writer of this article seems to think the War on Terror is a hell of a good thing. Apparently he has an odd notion of paranoia, as everything predicted seems to be going along schedule. How is spending money to alarm people that their civil liberties already have been taken away dangerous or paranoid? This writer is an idiot. If he is unable to explain what is wrong with an opinion and only complain that it is crazy and dangerous, he is probably too stupid to write. RE: A Conspiracy So Vast |
