Stephen, aren't we getting off the trail (thread) here ? The original post was about privacy. My reply was just a frustrated remark about governments not respecting the civil rights of their own citizens. I live in a country where various governments don't give a shit about the individual citizen. But they don't kill us. They just want to control us. They use M$ software. Accordingly, they can't. Now, I don't condemn the the U.S. - In fact I envy them. Only I don't understand their attitude towards the M$ fascism. Does M$ *own* the American judges ? Nevertheless, I'm old enough to remember Adolph. I'm ashamed on behalf of the German government.
