Bullshit! It is easy to say you'd rather die that go through a pat down or walk through a screening device. What's more like it is that you'd rather be right than consider the possibility that even one plane (~250 human beings) might be snuffed out by some crazies, and that such inspections could actually prevent that happening. I, for one will opt on the side of a safe flight.

Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter 147

tsamsoniw writes "California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's campaign team attempted to share with her Twitter followers an endorsement from a police association. Unfortunately, the campaign press secretary entered an incorrect or incomplete Bit.ly URL in the Tweet, which took clickers to a YouTube video featuring a bespectacled, long-haired Japanese man in a tutu and leggings rocking out on a bass guitar. And for whatever reason, the Tweet, which went out on the 18th, has remained active through today."

Another straw man argument...

The law is that books can be in libraries. They are still for single use only. The author got paid for the volume on the shelf. And you cannot legally make a copy and take it home with you and give to others. That's all part of "fair use."

File sharing copyrighted music is illegal. Giving a copy of a song to someone else is NOT part of "fair use".

Go pay Apple 99 cents for a song. Listen to it anywhere you want. Buy a book at Borders, read it anywhere you want. Then pass it on to another. Just don't make a copy and give to another. Fair use...
