Responding to msg by solman@MIT.EDU (Jason W Solinsky) on Sun, 21 Aug 4:48 AM Jason, There's a thread on the (legal) list Cyberia-L about the privacy of government information and how to legislate the rising demand for this data (and parallel 'Net info). The initial post of the thread is e-mailed your way. Behold the legal mill of a "nation of laws" finely grinding an issue. Nitty-gritty skill. The apparatus to legislate, arbitrate and enforce laws of "voluntary government" will probably require as many bureaucrats, attorneys and LEAs as the present system unless there is a reduction in our dependence upon governments of all sorts. But, as Jim Dixon says, the blame-government adrenalin high is uniformly distributed. Something like the DOD's military conversion fund might be needed to cure our addiction to government and help us get used to the pastoral bovinity of voluntary associations. John
