Please document this claim. Yes, some congresscritters appear overly beholden to corporate interests, but there are others who are not. I still do not see what you're doing in your life that makes your fanatical concern for anonymity so precious. I mean, you won't even tell anyone here your name, where you live (presumably the US, but we don't *know* that) or anything else about you. How do I know you're even human, and not a Cabbage Or Something In Disguise? One could wonder if you *are* Up To Something, if you go to such lengths to hide who and where you are. > Ex: 'Hacking' in recent legislation being considered has been made > equivalent to 'Terrorism' and carries a minimum mandatory life sentence > without parole. How do you propose to get this changed without *engaging* your elected representatives? You'll have to contact them, lobby them yourself (or through the EFF, or some other lobbying group), and in general make sure you are *visible*. Adam C.
