Straight Ray rote:
Mister Tim,
I have to say I don't agree with you. I don't see the Cypherpunks
list as an association of criminals. I don't have a problem with
the idea of teaching ordinary people to use crypto to protect
themselves from ripoff artists, criminals, and spies. I see the
police as a natural ally in any 'defense of sheeple' activities
folk undertake.
======================================================================
Speak for yourself. I'm mighty proud to say that I'm an outlaw --
been one all my life, and will die illegal and proud of it. Pretty damn
hard to *NOT* be a outlaw these days.
I like psycho-active plant materials, and I frankly don't give a
flying fuck about those scum who try to criminalize Mother Nature. They are
the real criminals. I'm never going to quit partaking, and I'll be damned
if I'm going to go to jail for it either. I'd much rather die with a
gun in my hands killing cops. Beats dying of cancer or old age anyway.
And that brings up another thing that makes me an outlaw -- I like
guns, lot's of 'em, and especially ones that the assholes in power don't
want me to have. Full-auto, sawed-off shotguns, silencers, C-4, all that
good shit that's so much fun to play with --
So when I'm talking with my stoner buddies, or my gunny buddies, it's
nice to use pgphone, eh? And stego, and all the other little goodies
that my cypher buddies got. Yup -- and when they make crypto illegal,
like everything else, so what? Just another groovy illegal thing
to do.
