"The Internet needs a chastity chip." ---James Traficant, Dem-Ohio
http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/980206/wired/stories/cybersex_1.html Friday February 6 10:07 AM EST Lawmaker warns of cybersex "pregnancy danger" WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Citing the case of a woman who claims she got pregnant from e-mail, an Ohio Democrat called Wednesday for a "chastity chip" for the Internet. Rep. James Traficant, known for his flamboyant rhetoric, gave a brief floor speech about a woman named Frances who claimed to have gotten pregnant through an e-mail exchange with a paramour 1,500 miles away. "That's right -- pregnant," the Congressman proclaimed, warning of the dangers of "immaculate reception." He called on Congress to go beyond "v-chips" that would protect kids from sexual content on the Internet, saying: "Its time for Congress to act. The computers do not need a v-chip. The Internet needs a chastity chip." Although Traficant did not say whether he believed the woman's account, he did say it was "enough to crash your hard drive." ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig@otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu Lewinsky for President '2012
