    I think that this is a poor solution to the problem at hand. Section 230 was implemented to protect ISP's from having to moderate their users. Do you really want a manual process that decides wether or not your speech online is protected or not? Unmoderated free speech is a core feature of the web. Companies are allowed to moderate, but should not be penalized if they don't.

    If I yell fire in a movie theater, should I be prosecuted for my action? Or should the theater be prosecuted because they allowed me on the premises without ensure that I would not yell fire first.

    I began composting all my amazon shipping boxes recently. Not only am I reducing the waste in my trash/recycling, I am creating great compost that will help me grow food. It's really not much extra work. I remove all shipping labels, tear up and shred the boxes, then throw it in my composter. Amazon uses compostable tape, so no worries there.

    Not doable for apartment dwellers, but if you have the space, I highly recommend the process.

    Eric Clapton - Unplugged - I can never get enough of this album. Stripped down and acoustic, you hear everything. I know some people consider Clapton's singing voice subpar, but I enjoy the rawness. The album includes the best version of Layla, but my favorite track is Old Love. Really like how he hands off some solo time to the pianist on this track as well.
