Indeed. And such statements are almost totally worthless; the US Constitution includes such statements, yet it is rapidly becoming the world leader in repression and spreading that to other countries as fast as it can. The best such limits can do is slow the spread of government, not stop it. Perhaps you should try a few games of Hofstadter's 'Nomic', which is based around this problem? >Grow up. I have grown up; I come from a strongly socialist family, yet I soon learnt that my and my family's political beliefs were wrong. Most people just continue to parrot the same beliefs all their lives. I could live with a libertarian minarchy, or even the US Constitution if it were upheld, but neither society would be as stable as anarchy. >You've proved nothing except your a priori dislike for democracy because you >want to convince others you are an angel. Sorry? I have no desire to govern others, so I don't have to be an angel. Indeed, the fact that there are no angels is another strong argument for anarchy over government. If power corrupts, then eliminate the power. If self-rule is good, then government is bad. If you believe in both self-rule and government, you've proven nothing but that your beliefs are contradictory. Mark

I think you're overreacting here (or I am misreading the above '>>'). If the sentence is life, with a chance for parole after 15 years, or if the sentence is death, that is what all those who practice civil disobedience should face -- what the actual sentence is. Applying pepper spray directly to eyes of _non-violent_ demonstrators is "cruel and unusual punishment", not just normal arrest procedures. (Violent demonstrators must deal with the consequences of their actions, including death.)

Especially in a larger corporate environment, where an email system is deployed that uses a proprietary message store (like Microsoft Mail or Microsoft Exchange), people tend to use the mailboxes as storage containers. It gets worse if these isn't a way to get the messages out of the vendor's message store conveniently -- if you want to keep old messages around, they _have_ to be stored in the vendor's message store. ========================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm(a)indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN "Their walls are built of cannon balls, their motto is 'Don't Tread on Me'"

This is almost a necessity nowadays, as many employers don't start your health coverage until you have been employed for 6 months. A high deductible makes self-insurance (at least for engineers) affordable when in-between corporate health insurance policies. ========================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm(a)indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN "Their walls are built of cannon balls, their motto is 'Don't Tread on Me'"

I'm familiar with the role of Gary Burnore <gburnore(a)netcom.com> and that of his DataBasix associates Belinda Bryan <eridani(a)ix.netcom.com> and Billy McClatchie (aka "Wotan") <wmcclatc(a)primenet.com> in getting the Mailmasher and Huge Cajones remailers shut down. Jeff Burchell posted a public expose' of their harassment to Usenet back in June, apparently catching the DataBasix folks off-guard. But what's the story with Paul Pomes? What has he done? Perhaps the best thing that can be done with people like Burnore is to put together an FAQ about their tactics, similar to what his "fans" have done for the "Rev." Steve Winter. Then when Burnore tries to stir up trouble by first fabricating anonymous "abuse" and then demanding that it either be stopped and the culprit(s) identified (knowing in advance that's impossible), or else that the remailer be shut down, someone can forward that FAQ to the remailer's upstream provider, or whoever is being pressured to pull the plug. And if Paul Pomes engages in the same dishonest tactics, that needs to be done with him as well. -- "I cannot convince myself that there is anyone so wise, so universally comprehensive in his judgment, that he can be trusted with the power to tell others: 'You shall not express yourself thus, you shall not describe your own experiences; or depict the fantasies which your mind has created; or laugh at what others set up as respectable; or question old beliefs; or contradict the dogmas of the church, of our society, our economic systems, and our political orthodoxy.'" - Jake Zeitlin

Ok, Monty, explain how my use of remailers is going to help me when my son-in-law (for example) decides that he wants my property and decides to have me examined? The mere fact that he can prove I use anonymous remailers will only boost his assertion that I am a paranoid. If my hard drive is encrypted that is further proof of my 'illness'.

If demonstrators trespass (or break any other laws), then they must bear the consequences of their actions. To me, the only truly peaceful demonstrator is one who does not break any laws while demonstrating (other than laws that stipulate that no demonstrations are permitted (First Amendment and all)). ========================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm(a)indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN "Their walls are built of cannon balls, their motto is 'Don't Tread on Me'"
