You're welcome to jump in, but yes, it's a US law, for now, at least

Many a movie crook came up with: 'You'll never take me alive, copper!"

If jail's the only option on offer...I'd pick me a copper who'd look like he'd enjoy being judge, jury and executioner...and I'd take a few pot shots at him in exchange for some 'unfriendly' fire....would never survive cooped up in jail

Yep, I'm outta my cotton pickin' mind and need ta see a shrink/get stronger meds....appointment's next Tuesday....thankfully the wife's still got some wits about her.

This is one of those things that belong in the "Government rocks, or it sucks" thread. A very good example of why it sucks. It's ridiculous in the general sense. I really can't see, though, the good that can come of this little law. If I use my real name, this lawyer guy in Texas could get blamed for everything I say, because his name is exactly the same as mine. And I thought I had a unique identity, seems that nothing is unique except for DNA, and then your DNA could possibly match the second person out of a billion.

This is a ludicrous ruling. And what was CNN covering when they should have been informing all of us in the forums and blogs about it????

Your DNA can only match your twin, if you have any.

I read it on the net somewhere....so I'm gonna hunt high and low for it to post here....
Some years back in France, the body of a supposed aristocrat (headless so apparently guillotined) was discovered, exhumed, whatever....and after some exstensive scientific research to establish sex, identity, etc, they were eventually led to a person in the former Soviet Union who had IDENTICAL DNA.

1 in a billion for most...that leaves 4 and 1/2 billion others...

Prolly as testing technology improves, they will determine it's not identical.

I see that no one has stopped using their handles. 'Course, not many that post regularly have a need.

I prefer to keep my anonymous handle to annoy those government folks.

What really bothers me about the whole situation, is that the people that write these types of laws to be submitted, submit them attached to unrelated bills that will be passed into law. That is what needs to be stopped.

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity.

Everyone say it with me -

"Thanks for protecting me President Bush!"
