    That's just f'ing great. We're surrounded by @$$holes.

    Are they going to be able to get into your computer from a remote location or are they going have to be physically at your computer to get the info off? They're going way overboard here, i think the govt. should have the power to search computers if they are suspected terrorists or a huge threat to the govt but they have no right to start searching everyone.

    Now that Stallman has chimed in, expect an xkcd comic regarding this any day now.

    In the meantime, DELETE F***ING EVERYTHING!!!!!!

    If this actually passes.... you can expect internet penetration to drop like a stone. You will only see me on while at work. You will see me only playing games you can play offline. You expect me to go back to paper based news. You can expect me to pull the plug on the internet at home. Hell... I'm already a hermit... you want to force me further into a corner?

    Me thinks Obama will get a personally addressed letter.

    $10 bucks says that just having Limewire or Bittorrent on your PC is enough for you to be detained.

    I would rather some guy with a beard gets detained for yelling at a border guard than some shmuck who downloaded some MP3s.

    As did I. I told people to put even less trust in a Chicago politician than one from somewhere else but nobody seemed to want to listen. Very few politicians are more corrupt than a Chicago one.

    thats what happens when the country gets all p-o'ed at bush for looking like a douche

    they go over to the dark side and elect a demo-crap.

    Fact is every president is bad, and while he is busy doing poorly the other party criticizes him for doing such a bad job all the while listing all the amazing things that they would do if they were in office

    Then they get elected and the process switches hands. The only difference here is that even Obama's party and administration are beginning to lose faith in him.

    Only 3.5 more yrs ftw.

    if you shmucks re-elect him just because he places high on the best-dressed list:
    Goody’s Goes Bankrupt; Barack Obama Is Best-Dressed -- The Cut: New York Magazine's Fashion Blog

    then thats it for faith in America

    doesn't make a difference, they can see that you wrote this and then they can come into your house through the window that you left unlocked (at least without a padlock) and search your PCs. If you resist you will be shot
