[stuff removed] ...the military in general and the army , marines and and special intelligence agencies>, they are after all as their prime mission capable of extreme violence and the taking of human life, as a means of social control. Law enforcement seems to have very similiar mentality as well, with CONTROL being the agenda and reason for existance-- Suppose we think of guerilla products such as PGP and anoynmous posting mechanisms and forwarders in their larger social sense As behaviour modification for those who would have our privacy as well as our lives
...and thus the government's decision to consider PGP (a privacy mechanism) as "munitions." At first I thought it was outrageous, but it all makes curious sense somehow when you bop yourself on the head the right way, doesn't it? I say we should ensure that as many citizens as possible get ahold of PGP as soon as possible. After all, the NRA would have us believe that it's every citizen's right to "bear arms," so why shouldn't we (especially those who choose not to carry firearms like me) all have whatever sort of weapon we choose to "carry?" That's all for now, excuse me while I go hurl. All this crap really makes me a bit ill, to tell you the truth. I only want the same respect I give to other people, not a lot of static from a bunch of haircuts with sidearms. d2t PS: Keep this in mind the next time you see someone you love patronize a Rambo-style movie or play a game of shoot-'em-up Ninten do - this is where the Bad Guys get their funding, lads.
