Stupid Congressman Tricks!

Ban Wikipedia?! What Kind of Senator is Mr. Stevens is?!

Early in January, Stevens introduced Senate bill 49, which among other things, would require that any school or library that gets federal Internet subsidies would have to block access to interactive Web sites, including social networking sites, and possibly blogs as well. It appears that the definition of those sites is so vague that it could include sites such as Wikipedia, according to commentators. It would certainly ban MySpace.

Ted Steven's is just another mediaphobe who wants to protect children: His own children from services and websites they will have to encounter. It does not take anyone with basic knowledge of constitutional law to understand that it violates the free speech clause of the first amendment. Why is he introducing this bill while we got worse things to worry about!

I do not support this bill at all. And if Democrats support this bill, they're part of the problem.
