Still other groups want to

ban pornography, or violent videos, or violent video games, or the depiction

of some stereotype, or just certain words from everyday use. How will

they effect such a ban?

Put aside the hard goods sent

digital camera be licensed? Will every Internet connection be monitored?

Will every e-mail be read, every download examined? People's concerns

about their privacy on the Internet will be moot; there won't be any privacy.

Or will the Internet just be shut down?

How realistic is it to think

that we can merely pass a law and "poof!" instant control of

campaign contributions, no more guns, no more pornography, no more whatever?

You have to have enforcement. And enforcement brings with it a price,

and we should know what that price is before we enact a law, because it

may turn out the price is too steep.

All we hear about is "what"

these "do-something" people want to do and "why" (endlessly)

it "must" be done. But never do we hear about "how,"

and it is the "how" that busts heads, ruins lives and restricts

our freedom.

But perhaps this doesn't matter

to you if your favorite political party is in power, but what if it isn't?

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Whatever goes around, comes

around. You reap what you sow. Be careful what you wish for, it may come

true. Have a nice day.
