> ================================================================
>
> In response to our views on "voting" - we received this comment:
>
> "Let me concur with your revelation that voting is a scam. In
> 1969 I was finally enlightened to the actual conspiracy, not the
> communist conspiracy, the criminal conspiracy that controlled/s
> communism. For the last 30 years I've done everything in my power
> to help change the political scene. These last 30 years I've also
> done my part to enlighten myself as to the working mechanisms of
> the legal establishment. All to no avail. Then in 1996 when these
> stupid amerikans voted in Clinton for another four years I went
> down and unregistered to vote. ....I had run for County Auditor
> and County Commissioner myself and saw first hand the dirty
> tactics used on candidates by my own party let alone the
> opposing party...."
>
> And on the same issue, we received this:
>
> "I agree with you wholeheartedly on the vote. I wrote a couple
> of articles close to the same topic some time back. Too often
> people believe that the simple act of voting makes them a 'good'
> citizen when nothing could be further from the truth. Involvement
> is the key, as is organizing people to cause changes.
>
> In further support, due to the amount of money necessary to
> campaign, we actually have little choice as to who to vote for
> which results in, as you stated, get one bad politician out and
> replace him with another. I think it doesn't even matter which
> major party is in power since those with the power to control
> legislative votes, all benefit financially the same. And our
> choices are extremely limited, case in point being the primaries
> now going on."
>
> In response to the comments on "trusting" the trustee, we got this:
>
> "My comment on this is that I know of two different people who
> are having trouble with their banker-trustee. In both cases there
> is a conflict of interest in how the trust funds get invested.
> First case: the banker wants the trust to buy 5%-6% bank CDs
> which of course helps the bank but, with the stock market and
> mutual funds doing what they've been doing for the last several
> years, isn't really the best choice for the beneficiary. Second
> case: a lady in her 90s who has a trust which manages all of her
> assets and has fired her 5-year live-in nurse to replace her with
> 3 shifts of nurses who work for a job-shop that the owner of the
> bank has an interest in. It's costing the estate several times
> as much money, but the banker is profiting from it. This last one
> may go to court."
>
> COMMENT
> Many jurisdictions provide for a "protector" - a person who watches
> over the trustee - and has the power to change the trustee, should
> there be a cause. In the case of the investment choice above, this
> is a difficult one, as the trustee may very well be constrained
> by a conservative investment strategy. And in the end, has the
> responsibility to preserve the assets - not take too greater risk.
> The second case is certainly more suspect.
>
> On the issue of free trade, we received this comment:
>
> "On globalism: Trade between firms across international boundaries
> without government interference is beneficial for those firms
> involved and arguably for the world economy in general. The
> growing intercommunication between individuals across nation-
> state dividing lines via the internet and other mediums is good
> for developing political consciousness and economic market know-
> ledge. But what should strike fear into any freedom-loving indi-
> vidual is government implementation of globalism. The last thing
> we need is another level of bureaucracy in the form of the EU,
> NAFTA, and other trading blocks to tax us even more just to fund
> the sharing of our private information between the member states
> through a network of computer systems, machine readable passports,
> etc. This could result in a monolithic world government, with one
> inescapable worldwide tax regime, and absolute power through its
> monopoly on the use of force. This is what makes globalism a scary
> word -- because it generally refers not to a popular movement of
> individuals or small business firms to trade freely, but to the
> government-driven movement in order to obtain more control. Having
> open borders and eliminating customs tariffs are nice short-term
> benefits."
>
> COMMENT
> Yes, one does need to make a big distinction between economic
> globalism and political globalism. And certainly, we could expect
> to see moves to "harmonize" tax regimes within certain regional
> groupings.
>
> We got quite a lot of "response" to the issue of free trade this
> week - but, due to space constraints, will hold them over until
> next week.
>
> Further to a reader's complaint about a provider of ID cards, we
> received this "counterbalancing" report:
>
> "After I received the ID card with the big red stamp, diagonally
> across both the front & back of the card, I was very upset. I
> wrote the supplier and was told that it was the LAW.
>
> I spoke with the person who supplied the link to the ID shop
> and he told me to remove the outer sleeve because the stamp was
> only on the sleeve and not on the card itself.
>
> It's a nice card."
>
> COMMENT
> It just goes to show, there is often more to a "story" than at
> first appears.
>
> And finally, an interesting piece from a reader:
>
> "I thought I would send along this quote from a book privately
> published by an old friend of mine back in the 70s. He only
> printed 500 and just gave them to personal friends so it is not
> anywhere on the market for sale.
>
> LIBERTY CHECKLIST
>
> "Every group established for mutual survival and advantage risks
> becoming a control mechanism and a liability to the very people

> Is free speech uncensored? Is independent thought discouraged?

> emphasis on the infallibility of the leader(s)? Is there an
> 'official' history of the group? Are the means in harmony with
> the espoused ends? Is it still fun to be a member?
>
> If we want to know the value of a group, a party, a nation; if

> Washington DC vs Silicon Valley: Who Shall Rule in the Decades
> Ahead? - BY BILL FREZZA
>
> Look back at the 1990s and what do you see? A decade of unparal-
> leled prosperity, broadly enjoyed more than any boom of the past.
> A burst of entrepreneurial zeal unmatched in history. The smashing
> of socialist dystopias and the discrediting of planned economies.
> And a flowering of free market capitalism not seen since the
> Industrial Revolution.
>
> Why? Because the engineers have sprinted ahead and the politicians
> can't keep up. Behold the Internet. We built it and the world came,
> creating a cornucopia of profoundly transforming products and
> services.
>
> Behold the Clinton Administration and the 106th Congress. What
> a sorry, unproductive, shameful, irrelevant bunch of windbags.
> What good fortune that at this pivotal moment the feuding para-
> sites have so thoroughly crippled each other that they've dealt
> themselves out of the game.
>
> Look ahead into the next century. Two paths lie ahead. We can
> continue to prosper, advance, and spread the blessings of tech-
> nology and liberty to the darkest corners of the earth,leaving
> the political class behind as the marginalized relic of a former
> age. Or, we can let the politicians catch up, strangling the best
> and the brightest with incessant redistributionist schemes, play-
> ing one special interest off against another, all making common
> cause with global bureaucrats trying to escape the decline of
> national sovereignty by concocting a one-world government, the
> final refuge of scoundrels who yearn to rule.
>
> Work hard for the former. Don't pay for the latter.
>
> Few concepts can be simpler. Yet our own industry leaders are
> selling us out. In their lust for personal aggrandizement, some
> of our most successful investors and entrepreneurs are turning
> their fortunes over to the very parasites that would infect the

> one-stop-shopping for Washington carpetbaggers out to separate
> Silicon Valley fools from their money.
>
> Speaking of which, how is Microsoft responding to Washington's

> There is a valuable lesson here. We may not all be rich, but we

> I often get asked the question, "What is the best way to protect

>
> However, there's more to it than that. There's the issue of timing.
> For, it's not enough to simply have your assets owned by a Trust.
> What's equally important is "when" such ownership is arranged.
>
> For example: If you open this morning's mail to discover a letter
