Gawd! I really thought the height of stupidity was displayed when Senator
Ted Stevens (Alaska, too much solar wind whipping over his skull for too
many years) explained to the nation that the Internet is like a series of
tubes. In this TorrentSpy case "moron" really does not adequately describe
the level of intelligence apparently present when this judge handed down his
decision. As I see it the term "moron" is actually associating the person
who handed this order down with some relative amount of intelligence as
compared to others in society. This is certainly not the case, as there is
clearly no relative level of intelligence present - there is absolutely none
whatever that can be used as a "compare other". All this is going to do is
drive up the legal costs of the two parties, much to the pleasure of the
attorneys involved I am certain. Hmmm, let's just fan the flames of
conspiratorial thinking for a bit now...

p.s. - I likely would have used "moron" at first blush also, but you get my
drift <g>...
