		<description>The session with the parents sounds good to me.  I would only add that it should be taped and put on YouTube as lesson to others.  Cyber retaliation? </description>

		<description>Nice post, Dim. 
 
Some stories simply pull out emotions in me.  To tell you the truth, I&#039;d like to give that lady a choice.  Don&#039;t want jail?  Fine, 1 hour in a room with the girls parents, no holds barred. That woman, to me is a total waste of a human life. If I was that girls parent, eternal damnation is worth it sometimes. 
 
PS: To tell you the truth, bullying is hideous because you never know which person is being bullied is teetering on the edge of sanity.  
As O&#039;Riley likes to say, that woman should be shamed for the rest of her hideous life. </description>

		<description>From a different perspective, it is a First Amendment issue.  If the government can successfully control some aspects of freedom provided by the Constitution simply because it is on the internet, others will follow, and you can bet that interstate sales will be the next plum to grab, and the taxation opportunity that comes with it.  They are trying to make the internet an exception to the rules, and then make new rules to govern (read it: tax) it. 
 
The only difference between the real and cyber versions of bullying is the anonymity provided by the internet.  Conversely, you could provide the same level of anonymous torment, sans electrons, by smearing a &quot;I&#039;m gonna kill you&quot; message in lipstick on a mirror, or death threats on a locker.  What about an anonymous text message?  Maybe a Twitter attack reminiscent of a bird attack in Hitchcock&#039;s &quot;The Birds!&quot;  It is no different, but the idle hand pols want to make it different, like &quot;hate crimes,&quot; which would require mind reading in many cases.  When it is different, it will require regulation.  And we know what that means. </description>
