    my initial reaction is that the general concept is worthwhile, but is a complete fail when being applied only to Americans.

    we really need to apply this shit to the emergency rooms instead of the internet.

    treat them, get them better, than ship the fuckers out who are not citizens of this country.

    no such thing as a ''fundamentalist.'' they toss their belief system out the window whenever its applied to their own lives.

    It is good for the US government to promote best cybersecurity practices. However, I reject any system that will allow the government to preemptively tap my communications, or otherwise compromise my ability to operate anonymously on the internet. Such system are inherently insecure, and thus run contrary to the goal of cybersecurity.

    i was thinking along the same lines emcee, but for some this may be a good thing(specfically older people who have trouble remembering their grandkids names), and if it in anyway would help with poker legislation then looking into it couldn't hurt. as i said above need more information but it is intriguing

    as long as there is an opt out ability and its not required to surf the net
