  The problem with the voting buttons

  on Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week
  I don't use the voting options very often because they are unbalanced. With the choices of "insightful," "funny," and "report" you have two positive choices, and one really negative choice. My suggestion is to add "disagree" and to remove "report" and replace it with "inappropriate." This would provide readers with a more balanced list of options, while providing you with statistics to facilitate the removal of abusive commenters.

  Question #2

  on Ron Paul's Sensible Thoughts On Wikileaks
  Number 2: Could a larger question be how can an army private access so much secret information?
  
  
  This one I can answer. Security clearances have nothing to do with rank. I was in the military and handling classified information at age 17 (over 30 years ago). I was a telecommunications specialist. We were the ones who had to keyboard the information so it could be transferred, and the ones who sent and received the information. Officers couldn't type!

  Re: This disease has to be contained now

  on Once Again, Feds Found To Be Abusing Surveillance Procedures With Little Oversight
  Many of us ARE awake and aware of the threats to our liberties. The problem is, we are the minority and we don't have any clout. Too many people simply don't care.

  Fair Use

  on Fox Sues Woman For $15M Because She Aggregated TV And Movie Scripts She Found Online
  I'm not an attorney - but doesn't this fall under the description of "fair use" for non-commercial, educational purposes under the copyright laws?

  DHS vs FBI?

  on Five Questions For Homeland Security Concerning Its Online Censorship Campaign
  Good article and good comments. But what I keep asking, and nobody can answer, is why DHS was involved in the first place when it seems pretty obvious to me that it should have fallen under the FBI's jurisdiction?
  
  Anybody know where I can find an org chart that would explain who reports to whom? Which acronyms outrank the others?
