Is this alarmist?:
Wednesday, House Democrats rushed an absurd piece of legislation to the floor where it passed almost unanimously. Congress critters are suddenly up in arms about Wi-Fi connections being used to transmit child pornography.

My only question - if I (a California resident) transmit a message to my daughter over wi-fi saying that I'll buy her M&M's for a buck, do Internet taxes apply?
