I see nobody mentioned the infringment of the second amendment by the assault weapons ban. These weapons cause 8.4% of the mortal wounds in commission of crime. Another piece of the constitution falls. Gee, what article of the constitution protects the right to cryptography? What are you going to do when they take it away from you. Probly nothing. The avereage person is definatly not as cool about cryptoghraphy as you are. But then again they probly are not as clickish as you are. You and your FTP site on Internet. Wow everyone knows about that. If they can not figure it out fuck em'. They are a "NEWBIE". You my friend are the ASSHOlE. To distribute to the masses is strenghth, not hiding behind some discussion of tackey dollars. Personly I think YOU are too stupid (OHHH I can program a computer) and lack the social skills to distribute crypto software to the masses. Any law probly would have a grandfather clause. Oh you say your grandfather died three years ago and you are working on revision X.YYY.Z of your latest greatest crypto software to worry about distribution. YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLS AND HAVE TO MUCH SELF IMPORTANCE IN YOUR SMALL LITTLE HEADS, NOTHING EXISTS OF OF INTERNET! WRONG THE REAL WORLD DOES!!! BY NOT DISTRIBUTING TO THE MASSES YOU WILL LOSE (oh you can ftp to toilet.flush /urinal/cookies/). WHEN THEY TAKE YOUR PRESIOS CRYPTO AWAY, THEY WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR FIRST AMMENDMENT RIGHTS.
