I have to say you've got it 100% wrong in the case of Ike
Finau - unless you actually think he should have a special
bylaw all his own. Well, that's my view anyway. See ...

I complained to domainz and all they did was point me to
your article and to Domain Name Commissioner.

This seems totally insufficient in this case.

Subj: Increased police powers

If we're going to take America as our role-model, we'd do
well to keep in mind that in the current round of
increasing surveilance powers, Congress is restoring
privileges which were removed in the 1970s and 80s because
police and federal authorities were ROUTINELY abusing them.

Subj: Divulge Encryption Keys

But I don't have the keys for the DVD's I own, and they will
arrest me if I try and find them out.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Subj: Ike

Free speech is an important part of our society. If Russell
Brown doesn't like the signs on Ike's lawn, I suggest Mr
Brown buys a one-way ticket to China. Mr Brown should feel
right at home.

Subj: hello??

Q: Why hasn't there been a trial and jailing of the 9/11
attackers (with associated heavy media coverage)?

A: Because there isn't anyone to put on trial and to jail.

Fundamentally wrong with the new legislation is that it
assumes there is someone to sentence, before that, arrest.

Al Qaeda is a non negotiable relationship. It is given to
the West and the West has to live with it.

There won't be anyone to arrest then sentence. If either of
the forms of terrorism as the Herald describes takes place,
it'll be too late.

Make Laws? Argh! Don't bother. Don't bother. Don't bother.

9/11 is something to learn by, however painful.

As a British journalist reported, the most frightening
thing (and why the West is losing the war, every day)
about "Al Qaeda" is that it's an idea. Nothing can destroy
an idea.
