CISPA: Another Law To Spy On Internet Users



Why CISPA is coming under fire?

One section of CISPA says that "notwithstanding any other provision of law," companies may share information with Homeland Security, the IRS, or the National Security Agency. By including the word "notwithstanding," CISPA's drafters intended to make their legislation trump all existing federal and state laws, including ones dealing with wiretaps, educational records, medical privacy, and more.

Here we go again internet lover's! Once again our anti-American law makers are trying to pass yet another law that will allow our government to spy on any and all of our records using the internet. These sorts of laws is why it is imperative that we keep a constant vigil over what these people are up to. From their actions over the past couple of years, they appear to be looking for any reason whatsoever to be able to enact martial law and spy on us whenever they feel like it. Once agtain, it is time to take action and show these people that we will NOT stand by and turn America into a new communist country by going to the White House PETITION and signing to stop CISPA in it's tracks. Or, you may go to the AVAAZ.org site to sign their petition, which already has 767,728 signatures and counting.



George Zimmerman Arrested for 2nd Degree Murder



George Zimmerman is under arrest, charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida special prosecutor announced Wednesday.

(1) What is second degree murder?
Florida's jury instructions (which are based on the Florida statute) spell out three elements that prosecutors must prove to establish second degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt:

• The victim is deceased,
• The victim's death was caused by the defendant's criminal act, and
• There was an unlawful killing of the victim "by an act imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life."

The last element -- an "imminently dangerous" act that shows a "depraved mind" -- is further defined by Florida's jury instructions. Three elements must be present:

• A "person of ordinary judgment" would know the act, or series of acts, "is reasonably certain to kill or do serious bodily injury to another";
• The act is "done from ill will, hatred, spite, or an evil intent"; and
• The act is "of such a nature that the act itself indicates an indifference to human life."

Note that prosecutors do not have to prove the defendant intended to cause death, Florida's jury instructions state. (1) Reuters Article


Well, Finally after a long wait, George Zimmerman has been arrested, now all we can do is sit back and allow the justice system run it's course.
