Just a quick update from sixdegrees(tm). Unfortunately Nita Daniel (machita(a)gurlmail.com) asked not to be listed as your contact with sixdegrees. We also wanted to make sure you were aware that you currently have no other confirmed contacts, so it will be hard for you to have a productive sixdegrees experience. As you probably know, without any confirmed contacts, you won't get any results from our networking searches. So, we just wanted to recommend that you head over to http://www.sixdegrees.com , log-in, and go to MY CONTACTS to list additional relationships. ==================================================================== PLEASE NOTE: All replies to this address are processed by a computer.

The intention was simple; that there would never be an 'official' state religion. It didn't say religion had no place. They were escaping a regime with an established state religion that used the goverment to stamp out religious deviationism. That was the sole reason for that clause in the 1st amendment. Brian B.

"Electronic Security & Counterintelligence" must become pervasive, and this is only possible if we release the private sector from artificial constraints on encryption, and if we return to our democratic foundation, the respect for personal privacy. We cannot regulate this, we can only nurture this fundamental national security arena. TAKEDOWN: Targets, Tools, & Technocracy Robert David Steele http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usassi/ssipubs/stratcon/steele.htm Another excerpt: 2.The greatest obstacle our government faces today in assuring national security and national competitivenessthe cause of causes for conflict and economic lossis the growing gap between those with power and those with knowledge.
