• The Electronic Frontier Foundation Support free speech on the Internet. Do not let others take away your right to choose where you go online. People just need to exercise more responsibility when it comes to the Internet. They need to watch their kids or put in some web security software. If they don't have children, they just need to control themselves. Enough said (from my soapbox, anyway).
• Peter McWilliams Author of Aint Nobody's Business If You Do. He has some good points about the so-called consensual crimes in the United States. I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he's for my freedom to agree, disagree, or do whatever I want (that does not hurt anyone and does not constititue a legitimate crime). Site contains a full text of Aint Nobody's Business If You Do.
