Something About Porn and Toothpaste

The United States government has subpoenaed the search queries from the three major search engines. Yahoo and Microsoft promptly complied, however Google is holding out. Google claims it would infringe on it's user's privacy. The US government wants to create a law that says whoever access a pornographic website must first register with the site before viewing pornographic images. This would stop minors from accessing the sites. The US government says it wants to study the search queries to find out which sites require registration and which sites don't. I can see how this is a good idea, but I don't for a second believe this is Bush's intention. Why would they need to know what pornographic words people were typing to find a website? Go to Google, type "porn," and voila! They can have all the results they need. To me Bush has ulterior motives for this seizure of queries. Remember, he has seized all search results. He has admitted that the CIA and FBI are monitoring oversees made to and from the United States. In my opinion, Bush wants to find out what US citizens are searching for. Search queries such as "Al Queda", "Bin Ladden" and "Jihad" would obviously be of interest. Remember, though, that Yahoo, Microsoft and Google are international search engines. Bush would be looking at search queries from around the world.

Now, for the toothpaste. I have a few DVD's that have been unplayable for some time now. They have scratches that make my Play Station either freeze in mid frame or stop the DVD altogether. I've tried various cleaning and scratch removing techniques but nothing has really worked out. I cam across a website this moring that says mixing toothpaste and water together will take most scratches off of a DVD. It worked! Finally, after almost 2 years, I can watch The Simpsons Season 4, Disc 1!
