"If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying -- that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 -- establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime."
"The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, ... or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press."
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
Am fear nach glčidh na h-airm san t-sěth, cha bhi iad aige 'n ŕm a' chogaidh. He that keeps not his arms in time of peace will have none in time of war.
Scottish Gaelic proverb
"If you outlaw guns only the outlaws and the government will have guns."
"If you take guns away from legal gun owners then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys. Even a pacifist would get violent if someone were trying to kill him or her. You would fight for your life, whatever your beliefs. You'd use a rock or tear one of these chairs out of the floor. Hey, maybe I've been watching too many Bruce Willis movies!"
"Now, let's be clear: there's nothing illegal in her taking this job" ... "And, it doesn't mean that she's corrupt at all."
You can read this as "I have no evidence that anything she is doing is illegal, and I can't prove in a court of law that she is corrupt"
Note the headline of the article, "What Corruption Looks Like", the point is very clear that this appears to be a corrupt politician (Is there any other kind?) that used her position in the FCC to garner goodwill with and a high paying job from a company that she was tasked with regulatory supervision of.
The threat of a Defamation/Libel Lawsuit is not insignificant in a case such as this so I can understand choosing your words carefully.
1)He's correct that domain seizures over overrated.
--- Yes, yes he is... Oregon FTW!
2) He DOES need to consider that the enablers of piracy ... should be targeted.
--- Yes Pirates should be stopped. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy) The question however is what "a war-like act committed by non-state actors against parties of a different nationality, or against vessels of their own nationality at sea, and especially acts of robbery and/or criminal violence at sea" has to do with domain names.
3) If you cut of the financial incentive ... you will put a big dent in [copyright infringement]. {FTFY}
--- WRONG, Wrong, and PROVEN wrong.
4) Of course if NIKE's products could be reproduced with a click of the mouse, he might think differently.
--- Why? What does Counterfeiting and Trademark have to do with copyright infringement?
*** The answer? NOTHING! Quit conflating all "intellectual property" (and yes I hate that term too) together.
5) Yes Google does have a data center complex in The Dalles.
--- So What? What about Berkeley County, SC ˇ Council Bluffs, IA ˇ Lenoir, NC ˇ Mayes County, OK (http://www.google.com/corporate/datacenter/locations.html) I don't see their senators doing anything.
