Bill before Congress on Internet Control

[Raven]

meaning the electrical grid
water supply computers
anything related to homeland security
should have it's own domain i think
or somehow be specifically segregated

the amount of money other countries are
investing in cyber war technology is alarming
considering that a huge cyber attack on the usa
can inflict as much damage as 9/11 did and more

the time to hit us in the wallet is now
so i am happy to see this Bill coming
it is way way over due.

This is typical of Liberal bills, it's for a good reason, and a lot of it may make sense, but it also gives too much control to the government. The same people that cry about "unwarranted wire taps, phone monitoring and monitoring email form certain countries" and say how it's infringing on their rights and how we shouldn't do it, will support this, because it is worded to make you "feel good about it" but allows a mot more "infringing" to be possible.


I want to look up China's laws on this and I bet their will be a lot of similarities....

Typical of Liberal bills, huh?

Your description sounds exactly like the Patriot Act.

It's not a liberal thing, it's a Congressional thing.
