Takes Aim at Illegal Downloading (thanks D.G.Whiskey)... when 70-year-olds
deal with technology. Mind you I'm not critical of this because it is
anti-piracy, but just because it's nightmarishly stupid. My thought is to
counter this with a proposal that causes Senators' cars to break down should
they be suspected of engaging in illegal or illicit activities... it would be
fun to see all these stuffed shirts waiting by the side of the road to get their
limos towed.

Despite this blatant display of stupidity he will be reelected easily.

What frightens me is this bonehead is speaking in public and making statements that show him to be a moron.

The feasibility of such an undertaking is obviously nil. I can only imagine what would happen to US government networks if they were so stupid as to pass something like this into law.
Just look at what happened to Madonna for yelling at pirates on her mp3s!
Wondering how Whiskey beat me to this one,

Destroying computers by software impulse, heh. Virus Programmers and related folks would so have a field day with this kind of hardware capability.
