Fascinating.

Looking at the Stamp Act... There are some parallels, but I don't know how well this sort of thing is going to play out against ACTA (short form: SOPA/PIPA have a bigger, nastier counterpart - the battle against surveillance and censorship is just beginning).


And notsomuch: addendum to the anti-kyriarchy rant: apparently, Rand Paul was detained by the TSA for refusing screening as "too invasive." While on his way to an anti-choice rally. *spits*

definitely not done yet...

The war against surveillance can never stop.


Yeah, no. This is appalling... way worse than warrantless GPS monitoring (which was declared unconstitutional). VPN and Tor, here I come...



At this point, I think I need to do a bit of research into Lamar Smith, other bills he may have sponsored...
