If You Have Nothing To Hide...
...then the imposition of laws like this shouldn't be a problem.
In the midst of such a crisis of wounded feelings, can the Patriot Sugar Teat act be far behind? Never fear, fellow posters - when America needs me in her darkest bullied hour, I am ready to spread compassion and sensitivity across the land, one sugar teat at a time.
Let the healing (and surveillance) begin!

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.
