In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Congress begins assault on the internet

Congress has just started its assault on the internet. Twenty years from now, you probably won't recognize the world wide web because it will be so regulated and restricted.

In the name of protecting children, this act, rushed through the House of Representatives the other day, places many businesses in jeopardy if they don't comply. Read the article here.

The other act, supposedly in the name of discovering "home grown" terrorism, also assaults our use of the internet to communicate. Read Ron Paul's article here.

Time to write your two state senators to ask them to oppose the first act mentioned above. If our freedom on the net is severely restricted, we're cooked. I'd hate to be able to access only government websites, wouldn't you?
