More to the point, the left and the right come together on privacy issues.

Remember the Christian Coalition's take on national ID cards? "Mark of the Beast!" (Does anyone have an original cite for this? I also recall the CC opposing Clipper...)

Yes, even the CC types can get some things right. Take a look at the opposition to the Anti-Terrorism bill, for instance. Quite a few militia organizations are Christian fundamentalist in orientation (unfortunately); they were in alliance with the ACLU in opposing it. However, the objection to banning address lists of interference with private business still stands, so long as the addresses are not gotten from governmental or quasi-governmental (e.g., allowed/regulated monopoly/ogliopoly) sources. -Allen
