Subject: WTF Arizona wants a internet censorship law banning cussing, insults, sexual innuendo..............
Yesterday, the Arizona legislature passed Arizona House Bill 2549, which would update the state’s telephone harassment law to apply to the Internet and other electronic communications. The bill is sweepingly broad, and would make it a crime to communicate via electronic means speech that is intended to “annoy,” “offend,” “harass” or “terrify,” as well as certain sexual speech. Because the bill is not limited to one-to-one communications, H.B. 2549 would apply to the Internet as a whole, thus criminalizing all manner of writing, cartoons, and other protected material the state finds offensive or annoying. The Bill is currently on Governor Jan Brewer’s desk awaiting her decision on whether to veto or sign the bill.

H.B. 2549 would make it a crime to use any electronic or digital device to communicate using obscene, lewd or profane language or to suggest a lewd or lascivious act if done with intent to “annoy,” “offend,” “harass” or “terrify.” The legislation offers no definitions for “annoy,” “offend,” “harass” or “terrify.” “Electronic or digital device” is defined only as any wired or wireless communication device and multimedia storage device. “Lewd” and “profane” are not defined in the statute or by reference. “Lewd” is generally understood to mean lusty or sexual in nature and “profane” is generally defined as disrespectful or irreverent about religion or religious practices.

We have plenty of laws on the books we don't enforce.

Immigration being the largest and most detrimental.

This one is particularly stupid, but as I said, it won't last long enough to devote thought to it...

So you admit that the republicans aren't for small government since nearly all of them voted for this?

When I lived in Alabama in the late 80s / early 90s, they attempted to ban pornographic material beamed into their state by satellite. Stupidity persists, but like that law, Arizona will be shown to be the horses' asses that they are and it will be overturned.

Something both parties need to think about when they set about to censor or gag speech of any kind: if you think the cool beans new law you just thought up is good shizznit for your team... Just wait until your opponents get a majority and thus control of that same law... They will use it to put the screws to you and if possible expand upon its utility. Both parties are hard at work to silience, limit, or muzzle their political opponent or moral enemies... Putting crap like this into law is bad juju.
