We can all flock to Australian blogs to share commentary on US events if we have to. Google and Giganews can simply move their operations out of the US, to avoid unnecesary risk. This bill will stop US Citizens from hosting blogs and community driven websites, but unless it becomes part of the greater war on terrorism, it won't effect our ability to share opinions on sites in other countries.

Wasn't that interesting? And isn't it interesting that the possible effect of blogging and discussion boards on the Nov 7, 2006 election, overturning the GOP "Lead Pipe Cinch (Diebold et al)" stranglehold on American politics, has somewhat quixotically led to McCain's bill AND Yahoo's deletion of their discussion boards? Yes, interesting. But certainly these are useless attempts in the long run. Progress slows but never stops: It is the nature of "the beauty". Bhudda said that the apparent "necessity" of dichotomy was all illusion. Progress is constant. And will remain so. Few live in caves now. And those who would most want to retreat from progress, conservatives et al, would be the last to choose to live in caves should the opportunity arise. That's ironic at best, laughable, or even criminal, at worst. And will remain so. “The Person of the Year…is…You!” Wasn’t that interesting?
