Senator Orrin Hatch's “contribution” to the death of the bill of rights.

(editor's note: thankfully, the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999 never passed, as it would have been a serious blow to our Freedom of Speech in the States)

We at Edot have “blackend” our title page in deference to a request by the Lycaeum to do so in order to protest the actions of Senator Hatch.

Editorial Note

I begin this sad editorial with two quotes from Henry David Thoreau's “On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience”:

“I heartily accept the motto, - “That government is best which governs least;” and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which i also believe, - “That government is best which governs not at all;” and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.”

“The best thing a man can do for his culture when he is rich is to endeavor to carry out those schemes which he entertained when he was poor.”

I for one will “...endeavor to carry out those schemes.” I fully plan on filing class action lawsuits, court injunctions, and restraining orders if I must to defeat this proposed law. If the ACLU refuses to help, then i will do it on my own through private attorneys. My other point of attack will be through sponsorship of our websites through Dutch based servers. I will be making a trip to the Netherlands in the next few weeks. I mentioned to several people months ago that i knew this was coming.

Do not be fooled by the “anti-amphetamine” rhetoric.

Senators Hatch, Feinstein, DeWine, Bond, Thurman, Biden, Bryan, and Reid fully intend to shut down all drug information sites on the internet and make it a felony punishable by up to ten years imprisonment for even linking to such a site.

If the need arises, Edot will be moved to a Dutch based server. God save us all.
