Out of the Blue

Hatch 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.

This looks to be turning into another "Democrats Suck!" "No, Republicans Suck!" thread. What the United States needs is a third party, because BOTH parties actually suck.

Oh, just one little snippet :
That's because democratic voters by and large are far more educated than republican voters

There are so many ways I could show this to be wrong that I don't even know where to begin, but let's just use the easiest example.
By and large, it is thought and shown that african americans and hispanics don't get "as good" an education as the whites, right? And by and large, it is thought and shown that as a population group, they aren't as educated as the whites, right?
You DO realise that the large majority of the african american and hispanic populations vote Democrat, right?


Anyways, on to Hatch. It's a shame that once a man's mind goes to shit, the Senate doesn't take pity on him and put him out to pasture. It's obvious that Hatch has no fucking clue what he's talking about. Yes sir, Hatch, let's destroy those computers! Let's bomb those fucking commies! How long has this idiot been in the Senate already, like 78 years or so? Definitely time for a change there, Utah...

It's also funny how the RIAA and all those other music bigwigs are sitting high on their little ivory tower, screaming how even if they were to make music available for download for a low price, people still wouldn't pay for it.

In its first month, Itunes.com sold 3 million songs. THREE FUCKING MILLION SONGS. Granted, that's only 2.7 million dollars, but so much for their little theory that everyone's a thief and always will be, no matter what the circumstances.
I think it's pathetic that a fucking US Senator lets his fucking pants drop and takes it up the ass from any music industry moron with a hardon. Just bend over a little further, Hatch, the pain will pass in just a second.

Did somebody hack the old senile fart's website yet?

In any case, I sure hope this gets passed into legislation, I'm getting to that age where the prospect of working another thirty years doesn't really amuse me all that much anymore, and I'd love to get rich courtesy of a few lawsuits against the music industry blowing up my computer.
