A bill that would make filesharing illegal in addition to the Internet itself, and cable television, and the telephone, and talking, and thinking. It seeks to ban anything that ‘induces’ copyright infringement. Like talking to a friend about a band. How’s that song go? Dum dum de dum dummmm da da da daaaa… oh, drat, I’ve been arrested.

The Senate and House bills to reinstate the draft as early as Spring 2005. And include women (um, yay for equal rights?) And being a college student won’t exempt you from this one. I suppose the folks that introduced these are looking to push our generation out of the country. I for one have no problem living in England if this passes. And I have a feeling most of my fellow students wouldn’t mind leaving either. My government wants to let me get killed instead of pursuing diplomatic service for them? I’ll take my degree to Europe, thank you.

The UN’s new taskforce against a growing epidemic of … spam. If Corporate America can’t stop it, how can the UN?
