No. What I mean is "we all": anyone who looks can see. I don't know anyone [personally] who voted for Obama (and implicitly for his "change platform of closing Gitmo; ending the wars; ending renditions; looking out for the little guy over the big corporations; the so-called "no lobbyists" policy - which he has ignored completely; etc.) who is not completely *disgusted* by what has happened: we voted for "change",
There's your problem.
Exactly. How anyone with a pulse could delude themselves into believing in Santa Claus^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H honest politicians is baffling.
And to think this person is a regular poster on the this list. O, how the cypherpunks list has fallen. [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]

The cypherpunks list collapsed in 1992 after a few weeks when the three anti-social founders had a falling out, there was blood and spit teeth, then The Thing was rejiggered to came back for a couple of years, staggered around from its many bantam cock fights gazed by lurking hooters by the thousands not sure WTF was going on but WTH it beat The Narcissitic Well and Venal Wired and the Guttenberg Didactic Project and Tim B-L's honey pimp for hard-on hardware producers, spayed advertisers and info liberation machiavellians. The four or five best and brightest left in disgust to go to law school or The Marines or prison or set up vulgar moneypits hawking crypto and crypto-crackers and anonymizers and anonymous-trappers to occult beasts with very large tax-cash dispensers. The Thing matured is what. Petered out, talked about the glory day. Rotted. CJ wrote a song about it: What it is is many-used, shaggered sheath in a dried-up cum bucket Nota bene: for anyone who remembers CJ's sis Alia who doted on the linguistic genius, she died recently.
