But the article has a pretty clear subtext, and it is that the exchange of such information on the Internet should be controlled. "I started thinking, 'How does one stop it?'"

It never occurs to these bozos that any system designed to stop "lies" will mostly end up being used to stop truth. Such is the history of censorship.

And is there any doubt that we will someday read a majority opinion from the Supremes that the 1st Amendment was never intended to provide protection to liars. It could happen any time that Justice Kennedy feels the urge. He has four solid votes right now so it is entirely up to him to decide. The writings of those evil Global Warming Skeptics would make a good case. Sadly.

The smartest woman in the world should have
