The very first line says: "SYNOPSIS Makes certain operators of interactive computer services and Internet service providers liable to persons injured by false or defamatory messages posted on public forum websites. " Why do they make the operators liable? Shouldn't the person who actually made the statement be liable? When are people going to learn to hold the perpetrator responsible for his or her actions instead of blaming it on someone else? We (me, you, bush, Osama, the person that posted that my life had less value than a fruit loop back in the OT forum) have the ability to choose what we do. Granted, there are a few with mental illnes that may have limits, but other than that, we choose our actions. We should be held responsible for our choices. Not the operator. Not the society. Not the parents. Not the schools. They may influence, but we choose, not them.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
