For the most part there aren't. Why? Well the media has sensationalized it. How many politicians want to go on record as "protecting the rights of child-pornographers"? Now, this isn't a major portion of Internet usage, but you'd never know that from what you read in the paper. If you only listened to them, it'd be something like this: 40% kiddie-porn 20% terrorists, bomb instructions, etc. 15% "evil hackers" who are going to steal our money, shut off our power, etc. 10% hate groups 10% pornography 03% right-wing gun nuts 02% other (research, entertainment, etc) - "'Anonymity is bad,' says a source who wishes to remain anonymous." - Nuff' said. * Home: Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> | http://www.io-online.com/adamsc/adamsc.htp * Autoresponder: send email w/subject of "send resume" or "send PGPKEY" * Work: cadams@acucobol.com | V.M.
