-> I think that we need to punish the abusers of information, not the
-> producers of it.  If a book tells how to build a bomb and someone
-> does it, killing other people, the guilty party is the one who
-> abused the information by building the bomb and using it in an
-> illegal manner.

I agree, many people tend to place the blame in the wrong place. Sure that 
guy writing the bomb book may be wierd... but.. its his right by the 
constitution to free speech. Its the person who did the killing who is at 
fault. Just like something similar that happened.... if any of you are car 
enthusiasts... you may know of something called "Quick Sliver" by Armor All, 
this stuff is REALLY awsome stuff used for cleaning car rims. The stuff is 
perfect, but obviously poisonous. But, some STUPID 7 year old drank a whole 
bottle of that stuff in Canada... so of course.. whose fault is it? 
NOOOOOOOOOO its not the parents fault or the childs fault.. its Armor All's 
fault.. of course...  so they no longer sell that product because the woman 
sued. Just like that Mc. Donalds thing... stupid as S**T!!!! This woman 
spilled hot coffee on herself in her own car.. after being away from Mikcy 
D's for about 4 minutes.. she burned herself and sued Mc. Donalds for 3 
million dollars. What is this world comming to? Thats like.. if a murder 
decides to suffocate an old man with a pillow.. the logic here would be to 
ban the use and posession of all Pillows in the United States of America. 
Yes, because pillows are deadly.
