hey guys,

I was organizing the rallye at which Tauss joined the Pirate Party
officially yesterday. I talked to him about several topics.
Some good points were already said, but want to respond to this comment:

In my point of view, you shouldnt compare drugs and child pornography.
Apart from my sincere opinion that child pornography is a modern way
of blaming someone a "communist" in earlier times, I dont like the
comparison because there ist a strong difference: The addiction
process and therefore the probability of self-abuse. Everybody could
get addicted to drugs - its nothing we are born with. But people are
usually born with their (comdemnable?) sexual desire to get in contact
with children. That someone who has never been suspected to molest
children or the like, but has reason to be contact with the material
regarding the topic, is completely different from a cop hiding drugs.

I want to give you a better comparison which Tauss had in his personal
blog.
Imagine a representative who works for a long time for democratic
rights in Germany. In this sense he works against right extremist
people. He acquires some material like stuff with svasticas via his
official cell phone and also talks about this with friends. Now,
police raids his office, finding the stuff there. He COULD be accused
of acquiring and owning the illegal material. But who would accuse him
of being national socialist. I think that should make people think.
Child pornography (or documented abuse) is not drugs. About 95-99% of
our population is immune to it and deeply disgusted by pictues of
chldren that have pain. They do not get addicted by pictures - in
contradiction to what our German government is telling us since last
November.

Well try to work closely with Tauss in the next months. So if you have
any questions, you can probably ask me. I also intend to design a blog
in which we can share and present all data about work done by European
Pirates in parliaments. I already safed the domain
www.piratesinparliament.eu because it will bring more transparency
into their work.
But before starting on this I would like to speak to the Swedish.
Maybe they are already working on something like this. Does anyone
here know more?

I also think, Hurricane78 is right. The speed with which his immunity
was lifted in March was the only thing that was dubious. But that ist
only a minors detail.

Greetings from Berlin,
Fabio
