The only specific acts that are alleged are that Bell obtained names and addresses of IRS employees, that he twice conducted a high school type prank involving mercaptan, and that he used invented SS numbers to avoid paying taxes. SS numbers being those things the government swore up and down would never be used to identify citizens, and which are now required on all banking documents. Aside from these alleged events, everything else in the document is either hysterical hyperbole, or innuendo concerning Bell's feelings about the government, his interest in guerrilla warfare technology, or what chemistry experiments he may or may not have performed. I hardly think the government is in any danger of being "overthrown" by Mr. Bell. It is patently absurd to suggest that a military and political superpower which can project force to any part of the planet almost instantly with virtually no fear of consequences is going to crumble at the hands of one individual armed with a stinky chemical and an attitude. Any prosecution of Bell is just an attempt to frighten other sheeple holding similar sentiments into silence. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd@netcom.com $ via Finger. $
