As for the case of May vs. Reno, 99 US 666 (1999) (:-), I've never heard Tim call for the violent overthrow of the US government. He's called for a far more dangerous method of getting rid of it (rendering it obsolete and letting the public catch on at their own speed), and he's also expressed the position that if a bunch of black-hooded thugs invade his house some night he'll defend himself first and not worry about checking their bodies for stinkin' badges or designer logos on their backs until the bullets stop flying.
Not guilty.
An almost complete summary of my stance. But Bill left out the third leg of my tripod, that I expect to wake up some morning and learn that some major city, perhaps Washington, D.C. has been nuked or bugged. And, as I am fond of saying, I doubt I'll shed any tears. (Which got first twisted into "Tim wants to see D.C. nuked) (possibly true), and then further mutated into "Tim is involved in a conspiracy to help terrorists destroy major cities" (possibly true)). Fortunately for me, none of these legs of the tripod are (yet) illegal, though I gather from what I saw of several of Hettinga's recent foamings that he thinks they should be. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
