No shit.
Pick 10 cypherpunks, you'll get 10 different views.
Well, that may be a no shitter.
Don't see the need to disclaim non-cypherpunk status due to `bloodlust'... Are you anticipating that the list readership will be collectively locked up for non-government approved thoughts?
They're not taking my ass alive, or at all.
Are you sure that having a 10 mile crater where there used to be a bunch of power-crazed beaurocrats wouldn't be a net improvement :-)?
It would truly be a day to celebrate.
It's not as if anyone is planning to nuke them anyway, it's just invective. There might be some danger of some of us writing a bit of crypto code, or saying some negative things about politicians. No laws against either of those (yet).
Just wait until they can read thoughts. Man, that'll be a sight to see.
A lot of the systematic torture, intimidation, carried out by 3rd world dictatorships is done at the hands of CIA trained government employees.
Well, since they can't read thoughts yet, that's the best way. It would be a day to celebrate loudly if someone put a crater in DC.
