The Carnival of True Liberties X

Welcome to the Carnival of True Civil Liberties Number Ten. This Carnival is dedicated to discussing how our rights are being stripped away by organizations like the ACLU and judicial activism as well as what citizens can do to fight back. Welcome and:

MERRY CHRISTMASAt this time of year when most people are looking heavenward and longing for time with their family the ACLU is skulking like a schoolyard bully in search of a little town or a scaredy cat government agency they can bully.

Idler Yet presents: .xxx and Who will bell Pussy? The .xxx domain, a scheme for confining porn to a red-light district, has been atttacked by misguided bluenoses and scotched by ICANN. John Dvorak is all bent out of shape, but come on — it would never have worked anyway.
