I would be the last to suggest that one should trust any agency of any government. What is naive and simplistic is viewing the people involved as Hollywood cardboard-cutout villains. The fact is that most people in government (_any_ government) believe that they are acting in the best interest of the citizens most of time. They are almost always wrong, but they are also almost always sincere. > Now get to be watched by the CIA instead of the FBI, and the ATF. I doubt that any US government agency has the slightest interest in your activities. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
