You all should go and read this!
Now, I know I've been quiet lately, but I had to post this. You all should read this, and be as fucking ticked off as I am. What the fuck makes the US government think that they can impose their stupid fucking laws on stuff posted to the internet from another country? And I wonder what they consider "sadistic" or "masocistic." Stay tuned for a picture update later this summer after I do my first suspension. "BME: Banned in America “Censorship reflects society’s lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.” - Justice Potter Stewart, US Supreme Court As of June 24, 2005, publishing BME was made illegal in the United States, with my wife Rachel and I each facing life in prison due to our involvement in the site. In no way am I exaggerating the risk we were at. Our lawyer, who specializes in free speech issues, advised us that there was a good chance of prosecution, beating the charges would be far from guaranteed, and that if we had any sense we’d leave America immediately and tell others to do the same. Taking his advice, we moved all of our servers back into Canada which has far broader protection of speech and the press, as well as the required privacy protections. Bringing BME back to Canada where it started cost us a great deal of time, money, and effort, but in the long run will be essential in keeping us online. Without this move it would have been only a matter of time before the site was forced to shut down, have its records seized, and seen us imprisoned. What caused this? The specific laws in question are the “18 USC 2257” regulations, a set of record-keeping rules which the US government claims have been put in place to combat child porn. They stipulate that for all photos published, copies of ID and other information must be kept and that these must be made available to the US Department of Justice for at least twenty hours a week, without warning or warrant required for inspection of the records or our place of business (ie. our home). This doesn’t affect only photos or video directly produced by BME; this would also affect content produced by BME members — so every photo on BME and every photo on IAM could have these requirements applied to it. Any photo that is “sexual” in nature or of a “sadistic” or “masochistic” subject matter (even if the photo is blurred or behind a password wall) is affected — this would certainly include suspension, play piercing, nipple piercing, genital piercing, and of course everything in BME/HARD and BME/extreme. “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” - Tacitus" Read the rest here.... | | Sunday, March 13th, 2005 | | 6:32 pm |

Update:
So,, my computer is thoroughly broken. I've been checking my e-mail once two or three times per week from my mom's, Tim's, or Dave's computers. Nothing too much eventful going on lately.

this sounds like it might be fun: *If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me. It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened. Then post this to your journal to see what people remember about you.* | | 12:41 am |

see you in hell, boys.
So, there's like a foot of snow on the ground today. I ended up switching some hours with Joesph, so I didn't have to be at work today or tomorrow. I'm working Thursday and Friday for him though, which will give me a 10 day straight work week. Yuck. At least that pay check will fucking rule. Speaking of work, I need a new job...one with health benefits. I have this weird bump that appears to be a cyst, but I want to be sure. I hate not being able to see a doctor, get drugs, etc. The "cyst" is in a strange place, my upper inner thigh, which makes me think that maybe it could be a weird ingrown hair. I dunno. *sigh* At least my awesome cousin works at my gyno office and gets me free birth control pills. I don't think it's humanly possible for me to sleep anymore. Tim and I woke up pretty late today, and then I walked home in the snow, tired myself out, and passed out. I napped a few more hours, then made some food. My housemates smoked a bunch of weed and are now on the roof building an igloo. They're planning on sitting in there and smoking more. Fucking crazy people. I'm contemplating trudging back over to the Downward Spiral, if only to not be alone. No way am I going on the roof with Don and Mark, and Alissa's boy is visiting from DC. Ellie and I have been holed up in my room all night, but luckily there's been three episodes of Law and Order on. Watching tv would be soooo much better if I were under a big blanket with Tim. *sigh* Spring Breeeeeeeeeeeeak!!!! <3 Mare | | 9:47 pm |
stolen!

reason #596 that I love my family:
-Tonight I'll be sleeping on the living room floor in a 10 foot inflatable fishing boat that came in the mail for my dad. (ps- It's my parent's 25th anniversary today. It's kinda creepy that they got married younger than I am now...) | | 11:18 pm |

Thank you!
I just want to say thanks to everyone who came out to the Broke Kitty Benefit show! We made enough money to get Broke Kitty her shots, spayed, and FIV and feline leukemia tests and vaccinations! Plus we paid the band that traveled, gave money to the house, and Tim got reimbursed for fliers. The show went off flawlessly, and was loads of fun! Yay! Thanks again everyone! | | Sunday, January 16th, 2005 | | 12:44 am |
sorry to sound like a broken record....but come out tomorrow!
