 JO> Please tell me this is a joke! I thought it was...at first...Now
 JO> I wish I'd saved the file, at least for the bill number.
We could use that billnumber, hon.
 JO> Has anyone else heard about Owlgore's latest masterpiece? It would
 JO> appear he's pushed the "highway" in Information Highway so much that
 JO> there is a bill in the Senate to make it illegal to use alcohol while
 JO> on public networks? They even added a cute provision so that bbs's
 JO> would be included in this. The FBI would be able to wire-tap your
 JO> line to catch you, and evidently possession of a beer and a modem
 JO> would technically be all the probable cause needed.
Great. So much for Constitutional guarantees regarding being secure in our
homes and documents (electronic or otherwise).
 JO> Then there is the part that would make it a felony to talk about
 JO> sex...I don't know how explicit it would have to be, but I'd imagine
 JO> Clinton's sex life would be plenty explicit enough. Ack!
 JO> By that token, unless we all stop talking about Clinton right now, I
 JO> think WE could all be future felony offenders according to the bill!
 JO> Unless it's just a huge joke, this bill is supposed to pass the
 JO> Senate within a month. Either way...considering just the idea--I
 JO> really do think Owlgore could be more dangerous than Clinton !
The most dangerous folks are the ones that don't appear to be dangerous.
All the better to suckerpunch, you see.
