Someone assuming the personality of attila about yesterday (who is he today? ask him--you might like the answer) wrote while in a mental state that could be characterized as perceiving reality for only the very briefest of moments: [humongous snip of recycled rumors, shameless fabrications, hypocritical innuendo, outright slander, and maybe a paucity of conceded-by-all- including-the-man-himself historical fact] > there is no left and right; there is no moral government; it's all > about power and staying in power. ever notice how reformers only > stay reformers until they need to run for reelection and the money > goes to those who play ball? So learn to play the game. Yeah, no one, even the icons we build, is a born angel. There are relative levels of the good and bad in our society. Do you see the word "relative"? It means no absolutes. If you want absolutes, check out the Bible readers for whom every word is sacred. One of my rotating tag lines talks (another Turkish proverb) addresses the very issue you bring up: power. I hope it shows up at the end of this message. > > the U.S. is already an oligarchy, next comes the plutocracy, followed > by the triumvirate, and then the emporer (maybe with clothes) -then > there will be a winnowing and anarchy followed by tribal states. welcome > to history, but few will live to see it run its course --America, the > universally hated, will be the first to be plowed under when she can > no longer bully or buy the -pax americanus-. and the men in power know > that a hungry disorganized populace can be subjugated by a well fed > army. Well, that's what we call human history. Nations and empires rise and fall, birth and death, a natural progression. The only thing you need worry about while living in this kennel called the planet Earth is to be top dog. > sorry, I really am crazy, but it's better to be crazy than insane.

DoD on Infosec and Crypto
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

DoD released today a July 21 speech by John Hamre to a gathering of Fortune 500 CIOs of which about half dealt with infosec and encryption issues: http://jya.com/dod072198.htm (53K) Mentioned: the EFF DES crack, PGP, offshore products, the need for expensive hardware to bolster cheap code, Eligible Receiver, the difficulty of DoD meshing its legacy decrepit systems with cutting edge warfighting technology, concern about foreign Y2K, the need to slaughter when no one volunteers to help. DoD boosts strong encryption as the primary means to protect mil and com info but insists on "balancing" the needs of privacy and law enforcement. Questioners bluntly challenged equating the two.

Ciao JFA " There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction." -Ayn Rand "The government has no source of revenue, except the taxes paid by the producers. To free itself -for a while- from the limits set by reality, the government initiates a credit con game on a scale which the private manipulator could not dream of. It borrows money from you today, which is to be repaid with money it will borrow from you day after tomorrow, and so on. This is known as "deficit financing." It is made possible by the fact that the government cuts the connection between goods and money. It issues paper money, which is used as a claim check on actually existing goods-but that money is not backed by any goods, it is not backed by gold, it is backed by nothing. It is a promissory note issued to you in exchange for your goods, to be paid by you (in the form of taxes) out of your future production." -Ayn Rand

Spamming
by Art1Carol 17 Dec '03

I do not spam! I don't think....The Government Lets it's post office's around the country spam everyone every day, for the postage Don't we wish we had a delete button for that? As a matter of fact when Uncle Bill and the henchmen in Washington can figure out how to make a profit off of email, "and they will" there won't be any spamming laws because uncle Tax will be making a windfall of money. I do believe each provider should have a block for unsolicited email and instruct their customers how to use it, and if they don't, Spam Away... The people who cry about spamming, don't know what they are going to create, wait til they send thier loved ones an email and get charged for it, then they'll wish they would have shut up and used the delete button....Thanks Art smith

Re: infant SSN assignment (whoops)
by Richard Storey 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I remember discussing the changes with a friend around 1991. At the time I was reading the changes noted to the law in IRS publication no. 17. I believe it is also noted on Form 1040 (look in the area used for children's SSN, it should be ref. in the instructions). Between the two of these, you should get a pointer to the code, and all of these are available online. The IRS is the only agency, that I have know, of using this law and, again, I think that congress made it law c. '91.
