We are trying to build a sandbox, and the government is trying to restrict the use of sand.
We are indeed doing just this. Although the small minority of us compu-professionals are writing code, flailing congressmen, etc., it takes more than what is currently being acknowledged to get things changed. I will not, however, discontinue my diatribe with my elected representatives on the topic of our electronic rights to privacy under the first and fourth amendments. (I'm having too much fun doing something that I seriously, and perhaps foolishly, believe in.) Is there something going on with the EFF that we should know about?
That said, I also urge those who are writing code to continue. To those of you not writing code, however, I say start talking to your friends and neighbors and communities and newspapers.
Now.
We are working on it. A vote of confidence towards crypto-freedom. Are we east-coast-niks welcome in this process? Is policy being drawn by a few EFF persona without consultation of the masses? Eric, before you say "Now,", you'd best detail us. I know what you mean, however, many of the crypto-warriors which may follow do not. It may be a good idea to _now_ place a broad policy statement.
