Some kind of 'common-carrier' protection would be helpful to those providing generic services like credit card validation.
Actually it wouldn't because to get 'common carrier' you've got to open yourself up to other sorts of government regulation and such. It would add an over-head to the business that it doesn't need. What we need is respect for the 1st (where is 'common carrier' in the Constitution anyway?). ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
