I dunno how things work in your country, but here in the USofA, the
President cannot be removed from office via votes on a website.

It seems that it challenges the First Amendment since someone could easily
write an anonymous letter to the editor of some web based news column which
flames an entity and be held accountable under this fascist legislation.

The Federalist Papers, published in 1788 to support the adoption of the US
Constitution, were written under the pseudonym "Publius". I'm sure they
annoyed someone. So, today, authors of a similar documents would be charged
with a crime?

re #67
If they included that tidbit in the legislation then it would be less
offensive.

re #66: At the time the authors of the Federalist Papers would also
have been charged with a crime (which is no doubt why they were published
pseudonymously.)
I point this out because it's worth underscoring Rane's excellent point.
I don't like to use the word "un-American" because I think it's been robbed
of much of its meaning and tainted by those who sling it at anyone who
disagrees with them, but in a genunine and historical sense I believe this
law is not just a bad idea but fundamentally un-American.

Its as ugly as the library record lack of privacy. Monitoring everyone's
knowledge and opinions should be scaring the hell out of people but apathy
is getting the best of this country.

Privacy and anonymity are hard sells because most people feel that they
don't have anything to hide. The unwritten assumption is that if you
*do* feel like you have something to hide, you must be doing something
wrong.

Yeah, that is why you will never see the general population happy about
cameras in a public bathroom. Because there are still things people
would rather do in private.

To think that Samuel Clemens too would be accused of a crime today.... He
would have something to say about that!
The Wikipedia says "In the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries, it
was established practice for political articles to be signed with pseudonyms",
but it does not give an explanation for this.
It isn't apathy especially, when many of these recent attacks upon civil
rights are done secretly, or at least hidden from view by attaching them as
late amendments to "must pass" legislation (like budget bills, as in this
case).

Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today ordered that United States flags
throughout the state of Michigan and on Michigan waters be lowered for
one day on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, in honor of Marine Lance Corporal
Jason T. Little, of Climax, who died January 7 while on active duty in
Iraq. Flags should return to full-staff Wednesday, January 18.
Lance Cpl. Little, 20, was killed when his tank was attacked with an
improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations near
Ferris, Iraq. He was assigned to the 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine
Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

There doesn't seem to be a walk item.
Actually, there didn't seem to be a walk today either. I wandered
around in the cold from 10:30 to 10:50 and then gave it up and went
home.
