Here's my question, and a thought to ponder: If it is/becomes illegal to have links on a homepage to pornography because it is ruled as the same as having the pornography there; then can you have links to pages with links (the same as having it) to pornography? This repeats, so would it be legal to links at all?
The answer is trivial. If it pisses of the fascists in power enough, you go to jail or get killed. - -- - -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.

As a libertarian nut, I bow to no one in my love of extreme statements. But I feel compelled to sqaush this particular notion whenever I see it. Randy Weaver really pissed off the Feds and did not go to jail (except during trial) and received a $3.1 million settlement. (.1 to him, 3 to the kids but they are minors). DCF

Not quite squashed, Duncan. Bullet placement (poor by some standards) is all that prevented Mr. Weaver from croaking like his unfortunate wife. She is said to have "pissed off" the feds but was not charged with a single actionable item yet she remains quite dead. Unless I have missed somthing somewhere, no TLA is concerned in the slightest with individual liberty. That notion should keep a rational person awake nights. Chuck

Much as I like the concept of checks and balances, this is an example of the evils of power balanced and checked ex post, and not ex ante.
