Take a look at the CDA. Now i'm not going to go on forever about that
|
|
mistake, for it has been most likely stamped into the memory of every
|
|
single person on the net by now. I want to examine the idea of the CDA, the
|
|
restricting of ones rights. Its nothing new to any of us. However, who
|
|
would have thought? In the land of the free, the government would try to
|
|
repress the unknown. Well anyone with half a brain for a start. That sort
|
|
of thing has been going on for eternity. Freedom of speech? Any person who
|
|
actually thinks that someone in this country can have complete freedom of
|
|
speech, and that it is defined right there on that piece of liberty labeled
|
|
the 'Constitution', needs a serious education enhancement. There will
|
|
always be the matter of 'national security' which the government will always
|
|
try to abuse in an attempt to supress the weak.
|
|
|
|
The question now rising in my mind, the one you too might have been
|
|
considering, the question that the ACLU, the CIEC, the CDT, and many more
|
|
have been considering ever since section V of S.652 had been writen, is
|
|
what does the word 'FUCK' have to do with National Security? I suppose,
|
|
taken to the extreme, this word might cause a Moral Extremist (such as one
|
|
of our fine congress persons) to experience a stroke, resulting in the
|
|
death of this person. If this could happen to one congress person, it might
|
|
happen to a majority of them. In which case we would lose a large portion
|
|
of Morally Conscience Congress Persons, which would cause chaos on the
|
|
streets, and in turn an invasion from China. Of course, the above example
|
|
will never happen on this time plane, so I can not rationalize how the word
|
|
'FUCK', and other indecent material, can be of national security concern,
|
|
when obviously it is not. I also do not see how congress can make bills
|
|
concerning it. It is not defined in the powers of congress to make laws
|
|
which supress the speech of the United States people at the whim of their
|
|
magic wands, and in no way can congress ever convince the people of this
|
|
country (at least not the ones with working brain fluid) that this power
|
|
comes from the 'elastic clause'. So what our congress did was undebatably
|
|
unconstitutional. Now, the rest of the bill (The Telecommunications Bill)
|
|
is what we consider the regulation of interstate commerce, which is
|
|
perfectly acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Consider at this moment, that the congress was able to pass this bill
|
|
in less than 24 hours, and that the President of the United States of
|
|
America was able to sign this bill into law (possibly because he knew that
|
|
with about 95% of Congress voting for this bill, they had the power to
|
|
override his veto if he did in fact veto the bill. Or he could have just
|
|
been after the votes for the upcoming presidential election) the following
|
|
week. Which only a few days later the President admitted that parts of the
|
|
bill are unconstitutional (posibly because the whitehouse was flooded with
|
|
email?) and that it will not be enforced. It seems our fair President
|
|
momentarily forgot that three and a half years ago he rose his right hand
|
|
to the United States people and said "I do solemnly swear that I will
|
|
faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will
|
|
to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
|
|
the United States." (Article II, Section I of the Constitution of the
|
|
United States) The President of the United States of America admits to
|
|
knowingly signing an unconstitutional bill into law. The way I see, the
|
|
President and anyone in Congress who voted for the bill should be fired for
|
|
supporting an unconstitutional bill. Since this sort of thing is completely
|
|
unpractical the bill should have been immediately revoked. I would now like
|
|
to sidetrack from this article to say that Mr. Clinton, for his actions
|
|
stated above, will NOT be getting my vote in this up coming election
|
|
(neither will my representative or either of my senators).
|
|
|
|
Lets examine the possibility that the Government thought for just a
|
|
second that they could in fact enforce this law. In order to complete such
|
|
a diesaesed quest they would have to create a side-agency of the FCC, let
|
|
us call this agency the IDC (Internet Decency Commission) or something of
|
|
the sort. The first thing they might want to do is setup mail routers that
|
|
all email must be mailed through. If the government could actually
|
|
accomplish such a goal, within a year, and with only five budget increases,
|
|
I would donate 90% of my income for the rest of my life to them. This
|
|
brings me to the only upside of the CDA. It does say in the law that one
|
|
can only be fined and sentenced if they _knowingly_ send indecent material
|
|
to a _minor_. So, instead of the mail routers, they would have to setup
|
|
something along the lines of wiretapping (uni-user sniffer logs). If a
|
|
mother happens to find out that her 12 year old daughter is hot chatting
|
|
and trading smut with a 32 year old man in another state, she would inform
|
|
the IDC, beat her child, sell her computer, beat her child, and go on a
|
|
looser talk show about how "My child was abused on the information
|
|
superhighway and I won't stand for it!" which would present me with a great
|
|
opportunity for using all that plutonium I have sitting in my closet. The
|
|
IDC would then begin monitoring all email sent to and from the little girls
|
|
account, the slightly less than intelligent man from another state, and
|
|
everyone else on those users domains just for the hell of it. As soon as
|
|
indecent material is sent from the man to the girl (who will not receive
|
|
the mail because her mother chained her to the wall and stuck a chastity
|
|
belt on her) the IDC can bust him. Which would probably include the SS
|
|
bashing into the mans house with all sorts of neat weapons I wouldn't mind
|
|
owning, then taking anything from the house that they wouldn't mind owning,
|
|
and of course, anything related to the case. This man would then be fined
|
|
the infamous $250,000 and sent to jail for a couple years. This sort of
|
|
thing of course is possible, but very improbable.
|
|
|
|
Think of all the stuff that would have to go into creating the IDC.
|
|
They would have to get a big check, or put it on the black budget (like the
|
|
NSA, my heros). After that they would have to buy a big piece of land (like
|
|
the CIA, my idols). Then they would have to setup a huge office building
|
|
that would cost a lot of money to build (like the Puzzle Palace). Then buy
|
|
a whole bunch of neat computers (Suns, SGIs and Crays, oh my). Get a
|
|
domain registry (IDC.GOV). Make secret deals with foreign countries, MIBs,
|
|
Aliens, create some UFOs, design some new weapons, and assassinate the
|
|
president (so they don't feel left out). I am sure you can think of
|
|
thousands of other things that would have to be done. This sort of money
|
|
spending would not look good when all the politicians are screaming for a
|
|
balanced budget. And it would just present an agency that would abuse its
|
|
powers like all the rest of them. All in all, it is pretty much a guarantee
|
|
that the Government cannot do anything about indecent material on the net,
|
|
short of kicking everyone off of it. They could try that, rename it back to
|
|
ARPAnet and then tell everyone to start their own world wide network if
|
|
they want one so bad. Maybe then service providers would pour out the
|
|
amount of money needed into running such a network, instead of leeching off
|
|
of what little bandwith is actually present (<cough cough> AOL <cough
|
|
cough> Netcom <cough cough> The Well <cough cough>).
|
|
|
|
Overall the CDA is just a failed attempt at big-brotherism. Part of the
|
|
Telecommunications Law (the CDA) has been found unconstitutional in a
|
|
Philadelphia federal court. Most likely the law will continue to climb up
|
|
the federal court ladder until the Supreme Court does a Judicial Review of
|
|
the Law and that will be the end of it.
