Let the thwack resound!

When I was a kid, we trained our dog in part with a rolled-up newspaper, the effect of which was to make a loud (and disapproving) sound when banged on the hand, chair, or whatever. I was reminded of that when I read that telephone companies that gave phone records to the NSA could be liable for billions in damages according to a pretty simple reading of the law. It's heartening to think that, if we are as helpless as we seem in reining in our actual government, there might at least be punishment available for those who help them in their oppressive goals. Think TWICE, corporate collaborationists! [thwack!]
