State Lawmaker Wants to Ban Anonymous Posting

Get a load of this crap:

By Kellie Wilson Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal. The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site. Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted. If the bill becomes law, the website operator would have to pay if someone was allowed to post anonymously on their site. The fine would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that. Representative Couch says he filed the bill in hopes of cutting down on online bullying. He says that has especially been a problem in his Eastern Kentucky district. Action News 36 asked people what they thought about the bill. Some said they felt it was a violation of First Amendment rights. Others say it is a good tool toward eliminating online harassment. Represntative Couch says enforcing this bill if it became law would be a challenge.

WOW.......
When did the Nazies gain political power in Kentucky, did i miss the memo?

I hate how they always find "people on the street" who agree to give away our freedoms. Every time they raise taxes or put in some asinine new law, there's always some moron staring at the camera on local news saying, this is good, I don't mind giving the government more power and money. Sort of makes you lose your faith in people sometimes.

This bill is terrible, but so was campaign finance reform, and it went very far indeed. And no matter who's the next president, they will definitely try for a new Fairness Doctrine, and people will just go along with that as well. It disgusts me.
