Proposal to reveal bloggers' identities

This is crazy! The left protested the Patriot Act under W and acted like he was an authoritarian who was going to take us into a restrictive state that abandoned the idea of individual rights. Well, guess who is proposing yet another law to restrict the rights of individuals. Yeah, no surprise, THE LEFT. In addition to trying to tax everything that moves and trying to pass a global warming tax which is a simple ruse to steal more money out of your pockets and control yet another aspect of your life, they want to force bloggers to reveal identities...to get a "license" to be able to post on the internet. 

The American blogosphere is going increasingly “viral” about a proposal advanced at the recent meeting of the Davos Economic Forum by Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer for Microsoft, that an equivalent of a “driver’s licence” should be introduced for access to the web. This totalitarian call has been backed by articles and blogs in Time magazine and the New York Times.

As bloggers have not been slow to point out, the system being proposed is very similar to one that the government of Red China reluctantly abandoned as too repressive. It was inevitable that, sooner or later, the usual unholy alliance of government totalitarians and big business would attempt to end the democratic free-for-all that is the blogosphere. The United Nations is showing similar interest in moving to eliminate free speech.
