Are the Feds watching Listal, too, I wonder?

5+ years after 9/11 and America still hasn't caught Osama, but the FBI apparently has enough free time and money to keep on the lookout for Myspace revolutionaries. I feel safer already.

You folks outside America are lucky. Well, except for the Brits. Your police are even more "Big Brother" than ours, what with your thousands of cameras everywhere, "control orders", "Fixated Threat Assessment Centre", and whatnot.

Fuck it. Let's all move to Canada.

That's quite a quote, except the language....

"**** it. Let's all move to Canada."

well considering the top lawmakers in the US believe the internet is a 'series of tubes', probably big enough to drive a dump truck full of stolen uranium across with ease under the Atlantic Ocean, I think it's high time for a revolution. or screw that, and just move in with us up here in Canada.

That is, until the States start looking up at our vast oil sand pits and decides to annex us too.

"That's quite a quote, except the language...."

Sorry. American English is vulgar. Well, the more fun dialects are, anyway.

Do Canadians swear regularly, or am I a man without a country?

I'm not a Canadian, so I wouldn't know.

Prelude, what was that you're saying about the "tubes"?

Do Canadians swear? Like fucken newfie sailors!

Forgive ForgivenForSure - me thinks he's from the Bible Belt. ;)

But no need to move, robelanator. The dam will burst eventually. Well, either that, or evolution will kick in and the typical american will start to grow fine wool all over their body.

Senator Steven's hilarious definition of what Internet is. Well, its funny until you find out he's the dude that's pushing to pass laws to charge fees on all internet signals.

Quote from Senator Stevens, for those who don't want to copy/paste the link:

"I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially...

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. "

oh brother... sad, eh?

Techno remix of 'Series of Tubes' speech

well, at least it has made Senator Stevens famous ;)

Have you seen the movie? (Quicktime and Flash are necessary to hear/view it.)

LOL

that trailer is hilarious. But it took so long to load up, mostly coz my emule is running full tilt right now, about a dozen films.

man, I hope i'm personally not responsible for more delayed emails at Ted Stevens office. :)
