I did clearly say that it was in satire and that I dont think that any of this should happen. I think that there should be a big lobby group of everyone in the voip industry to try to fight the government on passing such blatently unconstutitional rules. I am just one person, the most I can do by myself is try to get others to join me, or leave where I wont have to deal with such things until it fixes itself (yeah right). > >There is very little room in the constitution for the federal government > >to mandate such stuff.

They feel that its better to pass unconstitutional laws than to amend the constutition. Look at the imminent domain ruling before. If the government wants to they can take your property and give it to another *private* person in violation of the 5th amendment. That was a 5:4 split, liberals win again woo hoo for not actually owning your property but having it at the convienience of a local government who can decide that their buddy who wants to put a shopping center where you live should have the right to flatten your home. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
