I for one am concerned about the bill. I understand the intent but also understood the intent of the Ricoh act back when the whole "gangster" thing needed to be corrected. The problem arrises when, generations later, the people who didn't pen the laws use those same laws in ways they were never intended for. This is another step in the direction of guilty until proven innocent and allows for FAR too much abuse of power. Yeah I want to be safe, I want my kids to be safe... but I don't want to worry about them having to be safe from their own government someday just because their point of view raises someone's ire.
You want specific examplesof abused laws that started with good intent... let me know... I'll bore you with the data.
