It seems everyone hates the idea of immunity for the telcos except for the telcos and people paid to care about it (which includes a bunch of Senators). There are a bunch of lawsuits running, concerning the fact that we-the-people were spied upon without a warrent and the telcos capitulated.

Apparently, there weren't really enough yes-votes for immunity for these lawsuits, so the telcos poured money into the Senate until there were. Your government is literally for sale and the laws are drafted by lobbiests.

Well, there was a backlash about this immunity issue. So they decided to delay the vote for a couple weeks in the hopes that we'll just forget about what they're doing. Sadly, I expect this strategy to work as planned.

We have dangerously short memories and we lack the stamina to really fight for our civil liberties. Here are some ideas on things to do...

UPDATE(7/3): If they're hoping we'll just forget about it and squeek it through on the 8th... They should probably quit with the hilarious namecalling...

I had never read this story before.

Wow. Apparently he won a bet that he could tell a complete story in six words. It definitely makes me want to read more of his stuff. I haven't read any since highschool. Yes, I'm going to claim I did some homework in highschool. I possibly only read the Cliff's notes...
