I have a proposal for you all.
I have started work on a Crypto Declaration of Independence, based on the famous American work which represents Independence.
This is unwise and unnecessary. It is unwise because we do not wish to alert the government to the fact that the net is largely ungoverned and ungovernable. It is unnecessary because crypto is already covered by various existing declarations on rights. THE BILL OF RIGHTS Amendment I Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,[...] Amendment II [...] the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,[...] -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we James A. Donald are. True law derives from this right, not from the arbitrary power of the omnipotent state. jamesd@netcom.com
