		<description>Whoo-dally.

Am I ever GLAD I don&#039;t live in the US, after reading that little no more victims act thing. Specially the &quot;outside the norm&quot; sounds interresting.

Naturally, the &#039;norm&#039; would be male-female couple, only doing it in missionary position, and believeing everything they&#039;re told like good sheeple.

Didn&#039;t some Franklin guy mention a little something about freedom and security and giving up one to get the other, and specifically mentioning deserving neither?

Doesn&#039;t this whole no more victims act thing sound a liiitle bit scary to anyone who curently lives in the USA?
(ya know, ASIDE from the obvious people who&#039;d think up this shit?)

		<description>A cursory look at the No More Victims Act is that its somebody&#039;s dream bill and not something Congress is looking at.

		<description>No More Victims Act-2007- An Act of Prevention
I read on a Wall Street Journal Forum that John Walsh is behind this. And something about Foley and what is really on his computer. (?)  WHAT NEXT??? Is the fox guarding the hen house???  This really could happen, just like the AWA that was back doored as “Non-controversial” and Congress never got a chance to debate it.

September 5, 2007
The No More Victims Act-2007- An Act of Prevention
Our nation has become one filled with fear and suspicion. We don’t know who to trust and our cries for prevention of child sexual abuse have gone unheeded. We have registration for after…. the fact. It continues to grow at an alarming rate…..after the fact. After the fact is not good enough. After the fact is too late. Prevention deals with before the fact and isn’t that what we want?
Registration has been tested in the highest courts in the land and still stands. It is not punishment. It is not for vigilantism. Its sole purpose is to keep people safe by keeping them informed. The reasoning may be good but those who are already registered do not create the rapid growth. These are the ones among us who we never suspected.
When it comes to sex crimes there is always the question of how many go unreported. Adopting the NO More Violence Act of 2007 can answer that question.
We can use FDA approved assessment tools and polygraphs that are already being used and screen the public at large. If a need for treatment is indicated, it should be provided. These are the weapons used to combat unhealthy urges in those who have been convicted of a sex crime. No child deserves to be hurt and no individual wants to be an offender so this is a win/win situation.
Those of us with nothing to hide would welcome the opportunity to put up or shut up.
This is the solution that has been so evasive. Now we have it clutched tightly in our fists and the time of grasping for straws is in the past. We have captured the beast
Leading politicians and high-profile activists have spent many desperate years advocating for solid solutions. We ask those in the forefront to take our Act and push it through Congress and on the President’s office with record speed. We also ask that these individuals be first in line for the testing that will end the nightmare that has besieged us for so long.
THE NO MORE VICTIMS ACT OF 2007
UNDER THE ACT:
All persons, both male and female, age 18 and over must submit to a plethysmograh and given a risk assessment while under polygraph. The plethysmograh purports to have a 100% effectiveness rate in predicting who will offend, is FDA approved, and already in use in the United States. Given the recent high rate of offenses among teachers, clergy, governmental and law enforcement officials, and any other person in a position of trust or authority I move to start with those individuals first, as well as with any other person that maintains a position where working among children whether paid or voluntary.
Based upon the results of the plethysmograph, polygraph and an empirical risk assessment, each individual who cannot “pass” shall be placed on a public “high risk” registry along with their assigned risk level.
The site must include the following:
1. A current photo
2. Risk level
3. Date of birth
4. Living address
5. Name of employer and work address
6. If attending and educational facility, the name and location of said facility
7. All e-mail addresses and online identifiers
8. List any/all known deviations from currently accepted societal norms.
9. Individuals who pose a risk must obtain a yearly driver’s license or state issued non-operating identification card. The image must, within 3 business days be submitted to the agency responsible for maintaining the sex offender website.
10. ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO SUBMIT TO THE ACT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED A RISK LEVEL OF THREE AS THAT CAN ONLY BE AN INDICATION THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE AND A REASON TO FEAR THIS ACT.
In order to withstand any constitutional challenges that may arise, any prior criminal act that is discovered to have occurred via the risk assessment and prior to the enactment of this act cannot be held criminally liable based solely upon the information derived from the assessment. However, such acts must be considered when designating the risk level said individual poses to society.
We foresee no challenges in respect to constitutional rights violations, as the sex offender registry is merely a tool for the public, to warn them of those that “may” pose some future risk to society and the intent is to prevent sex crimes. This “Act” merely expands the public’s awareness and would be a vital tool in the prevention of crimes as well as having the potential to catch those who have already committed crimes but have not been caught or prosecuted. Additionally, the courts have already ruled that registration is regulatory and not punitive in design and therefore The “No More Victims Act” will easily withstand constitutional challenges on that ground.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;END&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

		<description>Thank you for this well written piece. In my mind, there is no doubt that LL and Aristotle are opporating in collusion to obtain real life information for resons most nefarious. Keep up the good work!

		<description>I think it&#039;s pretty obvious that Linden Lab is not a trustworthy company.  Anyone who believes they can trust one word that comes out of the LL PR engine is very naive.  I think a comment made by a user on the SL Blog put it clearly:  LL has used its residents as a beta test system and charged them heavily for the privilege, and will have no qualms about leaving those people sitting in the dust as LL moves on to bigger and more profitable things.  They don&#039;t fix bugs, they have no customer service for anyone paying less than US$125 a month, and are the perfect example of a self-serving corporate hive-mind.  So if anyone believes that LL won&#039;t keep information or won&#039;t do this or won&#039;t do that... hey, I have some prime virtual swamp land to sell ya.

		<description>Another excellent article, Inigo.

Of course, we don&#039;t *know* whether any of this is true, but ... I for one don&#039;t have a hard time connecting the dots.  I agree that even if this is what LL is up to, it could very well be just as hare-brained as anything else they&#039;ve come up with in terms of being an effective strategy, but I suppose that&#039;s not so surprising.
