Congressman Sensenbrenner Pushing Nark Bill

James Sensenbrenner, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, is pushing a bill, H.R. 1528, that this article claims would require U.S. citizens to nark on their family, friends, and neighbors or possibly face a prison sentence:

"Spy vs. Spy" by Bill Piper.

I've never been interested in drugs, but, like most Americans, I know people who do drugs. The last person I saw smoking pot was a responsible, middle-aged father, who spends most of his spare time helping out with his sons' Scouting and sports activities. Could I live with myself if I turned him in to the authorities? No way. I think most people would feel the same.

Well, it's only a bill. And one that probably won't get very far.
