I don’t often get engaged in mass-action campaigns (nothing against them, just not my style), but I think I will do something for this one over the weekend. This “telecom immunity” bill under consideration by Congress is cracked!

Thank you for the link about the 5 things Bloggers to do before they die. A friend from MOG (music forum) of my networks died unexpectedly and none of us knew what to do because his family was not computer literate and had no idea where all of his information was online (his different names,etc.) Further, he had not written a will. Many of us from the forum donated money for his funeral because it seemed as though he never had set aside the money for this. It was a real mess but we are still getting through it.
