-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I agree with those who oppose unwarranted attacks on Dr Dennings character. She is by all accounts an intelligent, well-mannered person and deserves to be treated as such. I completely disagree with her about clipper however. I have watched with growing horror as our government over the last 15 years has slowly turned into a near fascist state. Black clad commandos storming a religious group's compound deliberately inciting an armed confrontation, then harrassing for more then a month, then initiating an attack that left most members including the children dead. People who had not been convicted of anything. We are told if we only knew, we would support clipper, I think not. Hide behind your secret information if you chose, we have a general idea of what you fear anyway. We are less worried about nuclear/chemical/biological/informational terrorists then we are of what our government could become with such fascist tools. After all, there are terrorist acts now, when you can listen. Its about privacy...... Its about adults making their own decisions, not some paternalistic government, no matter how well meaning, doing it for us. We will build the tools we need, we will bypass attempts to stop us, we will advance till our communication ressembles noise.
