Could you show me a copy? Everyone keeps telling me about this contract, but I can't for the life of me remember signing it.
You may demand the freedom to kill those who disagree with you but no community will grant you that freedom.

I am not currently aware that either your right to encrypt nor your right to use anon remailers is under threat, so why should I do anything? But while encryption and anon remailing protect *you* from certain threats to your freedom, they are also being used for example to make the international trade in child pornography more effective and less easy to prosecute.
You start by talking about the social contract and how no one agrees that you should be able to kill people, and then you move straight on to child pornography. I find that interesting. Perry
