If legislation is the answer to our nation's woes, then Malaysia should by now be the best governed country on the face of the earth. With the myriad of existing laws to cow Malaysians into submission, calls for additional laws to control blogging sounds as exciting as recycling used condoms.

And why bother - when you don't have what it takes to get it up - because vigilant and impartial enforcement is the real teeth to effective legislation.

Unlike unwanted pregnancies, preventing dissemination of information or disinformation in the cyberworld is next to impossible. You can only penalise after the illegality of the commission has been proven. Criminal defamation, sedition, treason, breaching state secrets, are all already covered by our existing laws.

Credible bloggers like Raja Petra Kamarudin and Jeff Ooi, who are upfront with their identities, are prepared to face the consequences of their actions in open court. It's like the 'quid pro quo' of the likelihood of pregnancy after having sex. And like a gentleman in action, Raja Petra is willing to take his clothes off. What is holding back the other party from baring all? Afraid of the truth being revealed?

Or blame it on protecting public security? How does one rank a racist demagogue's act of brandishing a weapon and threatening others in public with that of an alleged act of sodomy in private, in terms of threat to public security?

Also, for laws to be effective there must be dutiful and competent prosecution. But when one sees our public prosecutors working harder than defence lawyers to raise doubts in their own prosecution case, one can only conclude that our laws are impotent weapons in the hands of eunuchs.

Like always, one expects Umno Youth to resort to that catch-all saviour of half-witted legislators - the ISA. At worst it's like abortion; killing a part of oneself rather than dealing with the truth. At best it's like masturbation; unreal gratification for cowardly Casanovas.

To cowards the likes of Khairy Jamaluddin and others, your asking for superfluous legislation to deal with blogging is like your asking for metres of loin-cloth when all you need is two square-inches.

If you have it at all, that is.
