âExperience should teach us to be most on guard to protect liberty when the Governmentâs purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.â âUnited States v. Olmstead, 277 U.S. 438, 479 (1925) (Brandeis, J., dissenting) - Spydertrader
No, don't practice either one. Remember, Im not the moonbat worried sick over the government protecting children from sickos, you seem to be.
wow. can you please explain to me how they will do that? search the records to protect children from browsing? sounds really strange... it is your job as parent to protect your children from it. sorry uncle sam, i can take care of it and i did not ask for your help.
Again, these posts are fine, I agree in some respect. I think some opinions are a bit extreme, thats all.
You do not know that the information released cannot be tracked to individuals. As the MSN article states: A link to the history of the Child Online Protection act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Online_Protection_Act So it appears the government wants to pry into the private actions of people in order to prove their case that the Online Child Protection act should not have been struck down. Again, a slippery slope and an abuse of power.
Im not a government official, therefore I dont know. Nobody here has a thing to worry about unless you are involved in said crimes. Unless you're downloading kiddie porn or attempting to blow up Americans, guys in suits and black sunglasses aren't going to show up at your door.
A slippery slope and abuse of power? If this escalates beyond terror/ porn, yes I agree, it is abuse of power.
they actually did show at my door.. not really pleasant expirience. hope no one on this forum ever get in to it.
This is brutal!! Trying to keep up w/ all these responses! This must be like being interrogated by Sen. Kennedy and the gang!
