Just having racist thoughts, let alone expessing them, is equivalent to extreme violence. Remember the student who got suspended for a semester for laughing while singing "We shall overcome"? .....................................................
Didn't hear about that. Don't care. Cypherpunks should know better. "Cypherpunks acknowledge that those who want privacy must create it for themselves and not expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant them privacy out of beneficence." Cypherpunks also realize that with the secure privacy they enable, people will be free to exchange not only pornographic thoughts, but all manner of other opinions, including racist misgivings. Most cypherpunks feel pretty free to hold all manner of offensive impressions not only of governments and major software companies, but of each other, as well, and especially feel pretty free to express these personal impressions, not only in private, but in public, even if Interpol is watching. This is not unusual and quite understandable, as most cypherpunks are male and lacking in the delicacy of gentlemanly manners (except for Tim May, who is always careful with his words and focuses mainly on the point of code in the swiftly evolving world of cyberspace). Any list member who hasn't yet realized this needs help and should spend some time communicating with TruthMonger. .. Blanc p.s. and Dimitry, you shouldn't be posting through 'toad' anymore, if you don't want to be identified as a 'toady'.
