Chill... I thought that our prime objective was to defeat Clipper... even if you don't like Ross, he does have some pull with the people of this country, and that's what we need... we need the *PEOPLE* to fight Clipper.

Mark Twain once said that the only people entitled to use the word "we" when referring to themselves were kings, editors and people with tapeworms. I assume that you're speaking on behalf of your intestinal parasites. Ross Perot is a reactionary head-case. He is the _last_ person I would think to bring into the Clipper debate, right after Bob Packwood and Jesse Helms.

We need the fight not to just be "a group of civil libertarians", but the general populous. Maybe Ross isn't the answer, but at least I've taken a real step to try to oppose Clipper. What the hell have you done, Black Unicorn?

Well, for starts, he's posted things that demonstrate possession of a nervous system a few levels above a notochord. What on earth would lead you to believe that you have any claim whatsoever to doing something significant to oppose Clipper in relation to others on this list? You sent a bloody piece of email, and to very much the wrong person: BFD. Don't hold your breath waiting for either a medal or a parade. Your ravings regarding Dorothy Denning pretty much set the tone for all of your contributions since then: juvenile, poorly thought out, and ineptly executed. Goodbye, Mr. Ortenzi. Down the oubliette with you. *plonk* -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
