Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has proposed a law that would make even attempted copyright infringement would mean facing severe penalties. I don’t just mean jail time; the proposal would include penalties similar to what they do for drug offenses.
The government could seize personal property, wiretaps would become legal for the first time, violators could face life in prison and, in an ambiguous and far-reaching provision, the mere attempt to violate a copyright would become a crime.
That’s mighty extreme for copyright infringement. And how far would the government want to go in enforcing such a law? And then there’s… Read more…

I was reading over at the Gun Toting Liberal about how 39% of Americans now think President Bush and Vice President Cheney should be impeached.
Wow.
So I thought that I would share my own thoughts on the topic. Just barely, I’m not in favor. This is a really close one for me. Read more…

As a work at home mother, one of the things that can drive me nuts is people talking about how stay at home moms are taking us backwards from all the gains made by feminists. I happen to feel that that is utter nonsense.
The kind of feminism I subscribe to is that women and men should have choices. I know stay at home moms and stay at home dads. Neither group tends to be lazy, but society tends to be hard on both. Probably harder on the SAHDs than the SAHMs, but it’s still not easy to be either. Read more…

It’s sad to hear that Boris Yeltsin, former President of Russia, has died. He lead his country at a very challenging time.
There are plenty of news stories to read, and thoughts from other world leaders.

I am completely steamed about this latest Supreme Court decision on the partial birth abortion ban. Apparently Daddy Government is worried about us poor women suffering moral harm from making the incredibily difficult decision to have a late term abortion. I barely have words for that idiocy.
First of all, partial birth abortions, despite what opponents may say, happen very, very rarely, and are typically done as the safest way to abort a fetus that won’t survive anyhow. They are not used as a sort of birth control! Read more…
