Did you notice who put out this story? Fox News - by far the most sympathetic news org. of republicans and the current administration.

I've voted Republican for the 15 years I've been voting. I am absolutely disgusted by how far right the Bush administration has moved, to the point of removing the freedoms they so vehemently they attempt to protect. I will not be voting for Hilary and can only hope a moderate Republican is nominated. Gonzolez has got to go and my decision will be largely based on that. As sad as that is.

The author, Radley Balko, is a libertarian, a thinker, a dogged investigator and a helluva man. By brute force and will he got a hearing for Corey Maye. Check out his blog, The Agitator, for additional info.

He's been against the attack on online gambling for awhile now. He's a fantastic ally in this fight.

And they aren't talking about Child Porn folks. They want to prosecute mainstream porn producers who make your Jenna Jameson type mainstream adult porn. It probably won't be long before they start prosecuting Hollywood for cuss words. This right wing Republican justice dept. is literally out of control and on a crusade to turn us into a nanny state where ADULTS have no freedom whatsoever.

The newest target(well maybe not that new) is MMORPG's like World of Warcraft or Everquest and Second Life.
Their determination is that since people are willing to pay X$ of real world money in some circumstances, that all transactions inside the game world can be valued accordingly and taxed irregardless of the medium of exchange.

Imagine some 15 year old getting a tax bill because he paid 15k plat for the l33t sword of Dragonslaying +15.
