I would leave it up to the insurance companies, let the insurance companies charge extra or not pay for treatment of people who get sick from diseases they should have been vaccinated for.

Yes, they should put the GM label on every food we eat that has been genetically modified from its original stock. Just label 100% of every produce in the super market as GM'ed since that is the case. Hmm, what about the GM'ed drugs that we are all taking now do we label those too?

Now here is something for Anonymous to take up. A man being executed as there is no "Freedom of Speech" in that area of the world.

I can see them doing this and then finding out that their db is totally corrupt due to multiple data disk losses. Looking for their last backup tape to find them missing or that someone has spilled coffee all over them etc..

She has had a full life doing what she loved. I loved her work, it is a legacy that will live on. The world is a sadder place without her. Thank you for the stories.

I think I once read a science fiction novel about a character that basically walked around with his life uploaded to the internet. Given the advent of bloggers and low cost high bandwidth wireless communications devices this will be a reality in a few years. We may soon have people who wear internet enabled jewelry that constantly uploaded their lives up to the net. Big brother lives! Except this time instead of just the government monitoring the citizens you would also have citizens monitoring the government.

What about Harold Camping and his failed prediction of the rapture? Are they going to sue for that? Predicting earthquakes is still an infant science. What is next? How about suing astronomers for not predicting the next extinction level event because of a GRB or Asteroid impact? Or suing Oceanographers for the rising tides or depleted fish stocks?

Maybe some scientist should have told Reagan it was for generating anti-matter for anti-matter weapons and it would have been built.

That still does not address the issue that Assange is an Austrialian currently residing in England. Does that mean rendition teams from US will apply US laws to any foreign citizen? Then the reverse is true and rendition teams from other foreign countries can do the same to US citizen. Like prosecute Cheney or Bush for war crimes with rendition teams in the US.

I figure the moment the technology is developed for an underground internet the lawmakers will kill it using laws made to stamp out "Pedophiles" since such an underground would be a hotbed for such activities in addition to piracy in their and their corporate sponsors opinion.

What about attorney client privilege? If a lawyer gets pulled over for a traffic violation do the police have the right to access his phone, potentially have access to attorney client privileged information or a doctor's phone with potential access to patient care information? Lets say a prominent senator's doctor gets pulled over and there is an appointment in the doctors phone calendar with the senator for a HIV test. Is that information available to the police?

If they declare linking is the same as piracy, what happens when some organization decides to SPAM the courts/ICE with takedowns due to ownership of various copyrighted works? The target would be to flood the system till it breaks or until the government realizes it has to shut down a major portion the internet including government web sites?

Black Monolith? Probably a Blue British Police Box.

Pencils can be used to stab, a rolled up magazine or paper can be used as a club, a piece of clothing can be used to strangle. Anything can be used as a weapon, an extension of your body to allow you to do more damage than you otherwise would. You don't stop the fighting by prohibiting weapons you stop it by supervising and teaching the kids not to settle things with violence.
