Are you serious? Do you consider your personal liberties so
unimportant that you'd allow your government to arbitrarily take them

Well, I for one am glad that you're not the guy who defines what
freedom is.
I suppose that you'd be happy if one of your "trusted politicians"
told you that:
...freedom *was* real in the "away from computer walking
around sense", but today we thought about it a bit more and we
decided that we didn't like what what the newspapers were printing
about us, so we shut them down.

Oh yes, you're right. You're so wise. Wow, how could I have been so
silly to think otherwise....

Oh yes, there's a bit conspiracy out here amongst the little people to
make the world more insecure! You're onto us now!

So you don't know what a hacker is either. Your knowledge level is
simply astounding.

Speak for yourself.
You are either a troll or you are really, really naive. Either way, I
will deal with your future postings in a similar manner.
