C'punks,
Hey, remember, we're all on the same side.
On Fri, 1 Apr 1994, David Mandl wrote after quoting John Kreznar's rant about "liberals":
Right, as opposed to conservatives, who are happy to have people "threaten the effectiveness of government and other large institutions." [and so on in this vein for several more paragraphs.]
Whoe, lighten up fellows. You both agree! *Neither* liberals nor conservatives are automatically our friends. People who are PRO CRYPTO are our friends regardless of what political camp they put themselves in. Please, lets not bring extraneous political, posturing onto this list. Liberals or conservatives who want to ban or regulate crypto are our enemies. Liberals or conservatives who support strong crypto are our friends. It's as simple as that.
Yup, that was exactly my point. Knee-jerk generalizations like "all liberals are evil and want to take our freedom away" are simplistic and silly and betray a gross misunderstanding of the way things are. Personally, I prefer to stay away from "good cops" AND "bad cops." --Dave. -- Dave Mandl dmandl@panix.com
