History shows that governments have no interest in, or need for, democracy or privacy among the people. It is the people who need such things. And it is their duty to ensure that their government which they created conforms to their wishes, lest it run amok. No amount of repeating anything to any government will cause it to heed said wishes... unless they back said words with the same power that made the hole and filled it in the the first place. History also shows that that delicate balance has yet to be proven achievable. An unfortunate situation indeed. Perhaps the few days spent turning and sowing the earth every season are the only way to yield a new crop upon which the Sun may shine for many months. Only the future knows the answer. Equally unfortunate that we are not privy to it. But we will try to shape and learn of it in our own time... onward, anon. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
