I am not after all this is still the same government that can't keep sex in the white house quiet or even domestic spying a secret...

More Paranoia

Recently I was informed that I was in violation of H.B. 260 AMENDMENTS RELATED TO PORNOGRAPHIC AND HARMFUL MATERIALS from the 2005 GENERAL SESSION in the STATE OF UTAH. (available here in pdf) I didn’t realize I was to place a rating on my Utah Based website and that I needed to register it with the great state of Utah. Good thing my site is hosted in Canada…(Don’t ask why Canada) and not the United States of the Beehive. I can’t believe one little post about Muslim Marriage Sex Acts and I get ratted on. Be under advisement that the only dirty photos on my site are of my jeep.

After receiving an email about my violation from some John “I already called your Bishop” Doe, I had find out more about my possible criminal activities, and I of course Googled and found H.B. 260.This marvelous work and a wonder was sponsored/created by John Dougall (R-American Fark) of Utah House of Representatives. I of course need to know more about someone who would create such a piece of … of… of… of… legislation. Dougall is a well-educated man who thinks that silly laws like this will protect Utahan’s from pornography. Unfortunately John Dougall has no clue how the Internet works and has created a waste of $250,000. This is feel good legislation. It does no good for a couple of reasons.

A.) No one hosts porn in Utah (Not based on any fact other than my personal Web Hosting Experience relate it to trying to sell beer on Temple Square)
B.) Forcing ISP’s to block content to subscribers based on the Registry (99% of all ISP’s have blocking software to remain competitive in the market.)
C.) This law leaves too much up in the air and contains no teeth to those who break this law.
D.) We as Mormons/LDS Folk don’t have the right to step on other people’s free agency (unless of course we are BYU). The stories of intolerance my coworkers tell me about living in Utah as a non-member causes my blood to boil and kills my ability to be a light unto the world (code word for Missionary Work). THIS IS MY CURRENT #1 PETPEEVE OF UTAH MORMONS. Something about hate the sin love the sinner pops into my mind here or is it glass houses and throwing rocks or was it the mote in the eye parable... Wait this is a rant for another day.
E.)Or is this just another method to catch BYU Perverts...
Why didn’t these yahoos (no offense to Yahoo) create a law that actually protects people and which also has some teeth? Why not make this law a law that says any site that is accessible from Utah has to register. Or I have long supported a top-level domain for sites of questionable material. (IE: .xxx .bad or something). I am also an avid supporter of watch your own damn kids. The government and I shouldn’t have to protect your offspring. If you were dumb enough to procreate, it ain’t my problem. So let me get this straight… I need a license to drive a car, fly a plane, own a business, but I need nothing but a willing partner to create a child?
