NODE 24ce7186Assault presses with cop killer computers.

While channel surfing around 6PM today on Christmas day, I saw
President Clinton announce the grave international threat
posed by terrorists, drug dealers and money launderers wielding
computers (Only three horsemen -- he left out child pornographers.)
He was immediately followed by an Expert In Television Expertise,
who told us that computers were getting more and more powerful, and
doing more and more things, and that Something Must Be Done.
The Expert did not actually use the phrase "The first Amendment was never
intended to protect modern assault presses using cop killer computers",
but that was the message.

Probably because child pornographers have been dealt with in
the recent bill signed by Bill, which mandates 24-30 months
for transmitting child porn, double if a computer is used.

I'll have to keep an eye on my machine, I think it may be subversive.
Remember, computers don't break laws, people do...
