KY Rep. Seeks To Ban Anonymous Blogging

Forgets it's an election year

15 Comments

thanks for your article.

thanks for your article. Very help me. I will more like visit to webpronews site. :) Fantastic

Unbelievable

It's no wonder the Republicans lost this election, if those ideologies exist.

Day and Age

In this day and age, it is hard for me to believe that anyone could mae a comment like that. Gone are the days of that level of personal accountability, and blogs are all about anonymous readership.

Meshing of opinions

I find that more and more as information is more easily accessible on the Internet, we rn the risk of 'idea clashing' where various opinions on subjects collide. This is the case here I believe, the world is getting smaller.

 

Very little sense

The entire idea makes very little sense to me. People need to educate themselves better before making those kind of statements.

Quite Ridiculous

What a ridiculous notion. Why shouldn't anonymous users post in blogs? What if the blog is about something very sensitive and the user wants to give their input? Why should they expose their real name and email? And 99% of the time, if they do not want to share the info, they will use a false name and email anyway

Defacto rules and law

It's interesting when you watch rules passed down the pipe. It's often so hard to determine where the 'kink' started in the hose of thought. Prohibiting anonymous blogging is downright ridiculous. Some of the best ideas and out-of-the-box thinking are from these people that prefer to not take credit for their creative leaps in thinking. Furthermore, the idea simply shows that the 'real laws' are antiuqated, that the process of reviewing and updating laws is the same, and that the working, defacto rules of life and lviing dont necessary meet up in the middle.

He just wants to know...

He's been blogging, and found some greifer that aggravated him, and he wants to use that other Kentucky law, You can kill a man on your own property if he was not invited... by dragging his dumb a$$ to his lawn, and ventilating his skull... dunno who he's trying to fool... Poor Mr. Couch... Guess you dont get to shoot me after all... I'm in Florida anyway.... DUMB A$$.

Liberty

I agree that people should be responsible for their actions but this is not the answer. Not even close. More laws that restrict are never the answer!

This was not a well thought out solution to a problem. This seems to me to have been a drastic reaction that could have horrible consequences (if it had gone unnoticed).

This is a (semi) free society and should remain free. If we keep giving up liberties in the name of safety we will soon be anything but free.

There has to be a better way.
 

  • The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.  ~Louis D. Brandeis

 

  • He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.  ~Thomas Paine

 

 

  • Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.  ~Abraham Lincoln

 

 

  • There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought.  ~Charles Kingsley

 

 

  • Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves.  ~Author Unknown

 

 

  • They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.  ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

 

 

  • No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.  ~Frederick Douglass, speech, Civil Rights Mass Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1883

 

 

  • I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.  ~James Madison, speech, Virginia Convention, 1788

 

 

  • I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.  ~Author Unknown


Just a few comments from a few people with a little more experience with this issue of freedom and liberty.

We have to think a little longer before we give up another freedom so that we can be a little safer from the bad people.

I believe that if people are made to be responsible for their actions starting as a child that they will be more prone to study the consequences of their actions before committing them.

There will always be those who choose wrong over right even though they know the consequences which is where the consequences should be strongly enforced with trial by jury of peers or some type of fair hearing to establish the absence of innocence. When guilt is established the punishment should be swift and severe equal to the offense committed.

Just my opinion.

This is the age of information (so it seems.) Why can't we (as a nation) come together and decide on a just solution that does not take away our liberties. There are millions of opinions and ideas that can all be brought together to some type of consensus that is fair and just.

We have a long way to go but it is possible.

Just my two cents.

FreeUs?!

Even the Government sees a value in anonymous speech

While I still can...

...be free enough to leave any comment at all.  Another example of how our apathy is allowing the removal of all our freedoms.  Someone please stuff a rag in this guy's mouth and stuff him ina trunk.  Wake up Kentucky!

May Rep. Couch should more time to first worry about the bullying that takes place in the workplace, school yards, and neigborhoods .
