No, in addition to that. Do you have trouble envisioning both, or just ones with a (D) next to their name? > or in the Alabama or Mississippi state houses? Mississippi has more problems than that. Like a state medical examiner whose incompetent (and possibly perjurous) testimony has probably sent god knows how many of innocent people to prison. http://www.reason.com/blog/show/127188.html > At least Cuomo really thinks he's doing it "for the children" while the others > are simply amassing power by whatever means they can. If you say so. I thought "the children" was everyone's favorite refuge now that patriotism is passé. > The proposed actions are ignorant and just plain lazy. No, they're politically expedient (not to mention unconstitutional). "You're against this? You don't actually *like* kiddie porn do you? You must be a sick and twisted SOB." > The problem is a general ignorance of technology, Usenet, the Internet > by public officials, not the Jeff's fantasy about Cuomo. R-i-i-i-i-ght. He's a really nice guy, who's just completely misunderstood. All the humility of Giuliani and the integrity of Spitzer, rolled into a nice suit. Nah, there's no way he could just being using a convenient (and politically unimpeachable) scapegoat to bulldoze himself into the headlines (and as a bonus, the governor's office, which he's already made one unsuccessful go at): "Comcast is no slouch in the child porn fight: it helped organize an industry-wide agreement last week with 45 attorneys general. But what was good enough for the National Association of Attorneys General was not good enough for New York; we're told that Cuomo was one of the handful of officials to withhold his signature." http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9997051-38.html My fantasy? You're projecting.
