Yay Rob! I agree 100%. I'm a wee bit worried that our technology will exponentially make it such an easy, easy line to cross. Doesn't matter which party is actually in power-- this is power seeking power. A power that is bigger than a president, spanning more than a 100 years. Thousands of years, maybe? Human nature, even?? Everyone is so distracted with being scared of each other, stuff like this just seems to keep slipping by, bit by bit. Ironically, I'm pretty sure that it will be technology itself, protecting us from technology. Viva communication! The individual, as an institution, has never been so awesomely powerful, and never realized it less, I'd wager. But we're waking up. I could see the whole world coming together, Real Soon Now, and saying, "WTF? These Terms of Service /suck/!". I have faith! And if not, oh well. What is meant to be, will be. So long as I've at least tried. Better to fail, than not attempt. Anybody wanna do an "encryption day", were all the emails we send to the list are encrypted? I have an old web email interface I could get going for those hooked on web-gmail... but it would totally bork the web-view of the list. Might raise awareness though. LOL. Raise awareness. *sigh* :Denny -- The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
