The US is insane lately. Witness some of the decisions regarding prisoners. However, here's a new and different piece of insanity: Senator Hatch proposes damaging or destroying computers used to download music illegally - seriously.

Okay, let's get the fanatics, nuts, and haters out of government, please. Assuming it could be and would be done (both, I think, unlikely - but it doesn't make the guy proposing it any less scary!), imagine the litigation. Especially they day they got someone who was NOT downloading illegally. Or who claimed they weren't, and it couldn't be proved otherwise.

*grins* I know that feeling of disgust you speak of. It's even worse when you're living abroad and people ask you what the hell is up with your country... I usually want to run away when politics comes up in conversation.
