[Woods] We know the populous hardly has any weapons, if any at all, due to their gun control laws...
[Arlo] Again I have to chuckle at the idea of a cadre of American sportsmen defeating the US Military (I'm assuming your talking about the British Military being complicit, because THEY have weapons, and yet it is the lack of civilian weaponry that alarms you). Does this mean you favor legalizing military-grade weaponry for the civilian population? What about surface to air missile launchers, flame throwers and bazookas. Wouldn't they be a whole lot more useful in a revolution than a few pop-guns and muzzle loaders? Grenades? Anti-tank weapons? (We'd need them, for sure, wouldn't we?) But let me get to your main point, the storage and algorithmic reading of emails for "terrorist" activity. Isn't that just what the Americans have been clamoring FOR? Isn't that the direction the Patriot Act takes US? Civilian wiretapping without a warrant, government review of bank activity deemed "suspicious", tracing electronic activity and bank activity? All part of the Patriot Act. Where are the Freedom Fighters to stand against this?? Hmm... if I recall, when serious objection to the Patriot Act was brought before the courts, these same Freedom Fighters branded those against the Patriot Act as... well.. "not Patriots". This is precisely why I said to Andre that pretending the problem is all "those damned and evil libs" is a greater problem than the censorship itself.
