bullshit. illegall to use a firewall? fuck that. i do not think the law should force me to become a vulnerable target online. what the hell are they thinking?

[rtgwbmsr]

My ISP would get arrested under this! They handle some of the firewalling for me!

Otherwise, it's bullshit. No one, especially the ISP's won't go for this. And how the hell do they expect to enforce this? And funding enforcement?

-----IT'S FUD-----

Probably some dumbass politicans trying to do something for the people, but having no idea what they are doing.

Hey cool--they're doing it at Texas. I'm now a criminal because I encrypt my emails and use NAT. Nifty.

You just summed up our entire system.

I feel your pain Quirk. Unfortunately, I would expect no less than this government. They even had this up on slashdot. Dammit we gotta make it mandatory for representatives to read slashdot. Since they would just send automated responses for all email, and probably physical mail, they have to read stuff posted on the internet. Since when did we have to adapt to them? They should be adapting to us.
