    "it's against the terrorism laws to take a photo"

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    "That means anyone taking a picture of one of those people could face a fine or a prison sentence of up to 10 years, if a link to terrorism is proved."

    Wow, just... wow... Trust me on this, if they want to link you to terrorism to put you away, they most certainly will.

    That's ok Neil, we here in the US are getting damn close to this point, too. You're not alone.

    "Terrorism Laws" - what a load of horseshit.

    Yeah i wrote a long essay on this sort of thing back inuniversity. Labour was putting lots of terrible laws to 'protect against pedophiles and terrorists' that essentially meant if you stood on the shore filming the ocean you need to ask the owner of the ocean permission.

    How about Aquaman? Should we be asking him too, or is he just renting from Poseidon?
