...something like this was passed into law! Can't see it happening...

"Lawmakers in New York State think the root of all Internet evil lies in the anonymous nature by which comments get posted on news websites and social media. Their solution? They've introduced Internet anonymity legislation that would make New York-based website owners delete any anonymous posts that other Internet users label as cyberbullying."

"A web site administrator, upon request, shall remove any comments posted on his or her web site by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name and home address are accurate," reads the draft legislation, identical versions of which have been introduces in both chambers of New York's legislature.

It's OK...I just read on another site that they are going to start arming U.S. domestic drones. That will keep us in line.

Link please?

Find that hard to believe. There is such a hot debate about even using drones in domestic airspace that are equipped with cameras. If the are deploying them with armament, we're fucked! Pardon my French.

I've said all along that there was nothing patriotic about the Patriot Act. They've used the, "War on Terror", to really launch the "War on the American People".

"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants".~Thomas Jefferson
