An update on this. I was up at 05:30 this morning to go to Salem, but never heard from Roger (hey we're talking Monday morning, so I can think of a host of reasons why we may not have connected.) Since I was not there, my information is second-hand: This bill is not going to pass in its original form. There was never a huge chance that it would, but it clearly will not. However, the bill is so ominous that its backers have indeed tried to sell a "compromise" which only counts you as a terrorist if you're violent or part of a group in which you know someone will do something violent... The overall tone of the hearing was that another hearing was necessary once the bill had been ammended a bit more. My position remains that even a compromised SB 742 is damned scary and probably unconstitutional. Not that it matters these days. - -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bush is a war criminal! <Mongoose> knghtbrd: and the meek shall inherit k-mart -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: 1024D/20F62261F1857A3E79FC44F98FF7D7A3DCF9DAB3 iEYEARECAAYFAj6ADJoACgkQj/fXo9z52rPHJwCfUxxgxvbgWMWlLrVFp0FcLSo1 wnQAoJOgvNQOpzDUNXmDpCTqUlxh6Fgi =ZNjV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
