A little SPAM can go a long ways when you fling it with a slingshot.
Elisabeth Economy outlines a few ways in which Congress can begin to chip away at China's attempt to regulate the Internet.
She says the natural response to "practices [which] directly compromise values that Americans hold most dear - such as freedom of speech and democracy" is emotionally, "as Congress has done." The current bill making its way through Congress would force search engines out of China or risk imprisonment or fines.
Elizabeth Economy, however, thinks Congress should reconsider the bill. She recommends "strong leadership from the Bush administration" who can "negotiate directly with China." She wants the focus to be on convincing China that Chinese "censorship of foreign-source Internet content has often resembled antitrade tactics."
Banning our companies from doing business with China outright would be a terrible move by Congress. Alas, Elisabeth's suggestions probably wouldn't amount to much - the United States has been putting pressure on China to recognize intellectual property with little progress for years. China is still one of the most rampant distributers of illegal software, movies, and music.
Don't die.

The font on your stories page is too small. Not on the stories themselves, just on the menu screen. It's, like, 4 or 6 pt. font. Hurts the eyes.
Destruction.
Do you mean the little blurbs at the bottom of the page? Its the only font I've set to appear small, and thats done on purpose.
Nope. The menu, mostly. That very first page on you G-mail site. Where you choose between the screems and burying god. perhaps it is just my computer, but it is really tiny. Normal text on my comp. appears about 10pt. and yours is easily half that. I can make all of it bigger by ctrl and scroll up, but you know. Then everything else is just really big.
Don't die.
