Don't any of you get any ideas here, but in California it is ridiculously easy to get someone committed for a 72-hour observation period. All one has to do is convince one of the various agencies that a person is a possible danger to himself or to others....
...Worst of all, the mere fact of having been committed, regardless of the eventual outcome, can mean a complete loss of rights to own a handgun, rifle, or shotgun for a long period (10 years, I think). Failure to let the Thought Police in for a look around one's home is almost ipso facto grounds for committment.
Use of remailers lessens this and other risks.
Ok, Monty, explain how my use of remailers is going to help me when my son-in-law (for example) decides that he wants my property and decides to have me examined? The mere fact that he can prove I use anonymous remailers will only boost his assertion that I am a paranoid. If my hard drive is encrypted that is further proof of my 'illness'.
