I've been greatly saddened the past few years to see our constitutionally declared freedoms eroded away by a corrupt government. While there are plenty of us who are still alert and doing what we can, the vast bulk of of US population reminds me of the sheep in Orwell's "Animal Farm". Concerning Tor and the Internet,I think it's extremely important that we find and maintain secure, private means to communicate and make use of the Web. My hat is off to the developers of Tor and other software aimed to keep us free. -- Patrick <<< sick and tired of hearing "Safety Good, Freedom Bad, Safety.......
