The Legislation That Could Kill Internet Privacy for Good

"H.R. 1981: Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011"

I really wish that bills were named for their function, not their intent.

I wish there was a way to hold legislators accountable/liable for badly written laws. Our statute books are overflowing with junk. It is like we have a mammoth code base with no source control and no one even trying to clean it up. Just a stream of special interest patches being thrown on top.

I do too, but it wouldn't matter if we had good men as lawmakers. That's the problem, we are led by fools.
