I think that we should make an example of those responsible for the CDA. Ignorance is really not an excuse here, because whoever voted for for the bill should have known the CDA was attached to it, and should have had some idea of what it did. Lets get a list of whos supporting this thing and bad press them back before the dawn of time. We need to make these people hosehold names so that people know not to vote for them again. We need to make sure people understand that e-mail = postal mail, that these folks just voted to let the government censor their mail, and that they knew what they were doing. We should also make lists of great works of art and literatre which are technicly illegal to transmit, we should dig up some dirt on these people to show that they are definitly not 'holier then thou', and if the CDA actually goes into effect, a few horror stories of good christian couples (young) having their lives ruined and their names draged through the mud for talking dirty on the phone or sending a suggestive e-mail to each other would be good propaganda too. And on other fronts, we should make things as difficult as possible for our government to passively monitor us. Even the simpliest encryption, nothing more exotic then Xor'ing information by a bitmask (32 bits or so), will be more then enough to render those tera-cycle packet-sniffers pretty-much useless. I would love to see sendmail itself modified to use SSL when available. Christopher
