Personally as far as the telecom immunity thing goes. I do think the companies deserve some protection, at least for past actions, because they are being bullied by the government. And now they are getting their asses sued off because of it.

What we should be reacting to is what the government is doing. Not just the wiretapping but also the way they have gone about it. To me the style of execution is more tyrannical in this instance than the goal.

I guess the electronic age equalivlent of listening to a conversation in a restaurant or outside a window is less scary than the thought of the honest proprietor being beat up in order to make it happen.

How many times do you have to mail them before they get to know who you are?

I've sent countless letters and e-mails and never even once gotten a response.
