Things like freedom of speech, are only really an issue for the 
Govt. When it comes to the private sector, we can do what we want.  
If you are a private business, like an ISP, and don't want people 
to see porn, you can filter porn, and tell people that you feel no 
one should see it, and if they don't like it they will go 
elsewhere.

The checks and balances on that law, are the Freedom of 
Enterprise, which protects the people.

 We have inalienable rights that
 extend beyond these rights to
 capitalize. These rights extend
 onto private property, into
 virtual networks, beyond fire- 
 walls (if we are behind them)
 and to the heart of Vixie's
 unconscionable activities. The
 guy is setting the stage for a
 cyber-gulag where the unacceptables
 are simply "Black Holed" into
 non-existance. First for allegedly
 sending mail to too many people.
 Next for whatever silly other
 offense these despots in training
 dream up. Slippery. Slope.
