That's fine, but, if we do impeach bush, remove all of the members of congress and the judges, make sure you don't just go ahead and put democrats there instead - they're just as corrupt, as a whole. Make them independant, and BAN POLITICAL PARTIES! POLITICAL PARTIES == POLITICAL MACHINES == SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

That's a load of bush-wah! How many mega-bankruptcies does it take to convince people that mega-corporations do not represent the best defence of America's pre-eminence in technology, productivity, innovation and humanism? The evidence that small, nimble, innovative competitors are kicking the ass of behemoth corporations is abundant. The anti-competitive, anti-innovative nature of mega-corporations is their Achilles heel; they cannot respond swiftly and effectively to rapid changes in market condition. Their solution is to buy out the successful upstart competitors to reestablish market dominance. This strategy cannot endure due to factional and fractionalized derailment of corporate purpose, along with resultant increase in mass and inertia affecting the steerage of the corporate ship.

Furthermore, this proposed legislation, just like the DMCA it modifies and broadens, shall be the warden of an era of intellectual vacuousness akin to the so-called "Dark Ages". To say nothing of the deleterious effects of the criminalization of cultural behaviors and mechanisms which tend to preserve and expand the cohesiveness of society. This legislation removes or criminalizes the means to assimilate and reuse the intellectual and practical knowledge of prior and contemporaneous generations to foment intellectual innovation and contribute to the expansion of humanist evolution as well as the enrichment and betterment of society.

The logical end of this presumption, i.e., the DMCA, is the corporate patenting and licensing of all non-involuntary functions of the human being right down to the neural interactions giving rise to ideation, such rights being reserved to the corporate entities making up the board of governance of our future global state. I do not wish to be stripped of all that defines me as a human, only to have the bits and pieces, along with the requirements for life itself leased back to me on a per use basis. I don't want to live in a timorous world where thought itself is perforce temerarious, subject to intense surveillance and possible forfeiture of assets and/or personal freedom. A world where to merely share a thought without license is both criminal and subversive.

Movable metal type printing presses spurred the dissemination of knowledge and freed the masses from the tyranny of cloistered, controlled access to the accumulated culture of mankind giving rise to the flowering of human knowledge and our modern technological societies. The current "powers that be" are on the brink of stuffing that genie back into the bottle only five hundred and fifty years after its release. The effect of this extensive broadening of the DMCA cements in place the final piece of the fascist construct of control over the governed by limiting and/or criminalizing the right to accumulation, possession, assimilation, and dissemination of our collective thought and culture by institutionalizing threat, intimidation, involuntary surrender of privacy, asset forfeiture, and inevitable loss of both intellectual and physical freedom.

The only solution is regime change, as Bush and his minions prefer to call it, and the repeal of every vestige of their, and their masters, legislative initiatives and unconstitutional encroachments upon our civil liberties.

Impeach Bush now, remove his political appointees and their criminal legislative collaborators of all persuasions, and promote the restoration our constitutional government to one of the people, by people, for the people, free of corporate domination.
