Why does it always seem that when my supply of Prozac is dangerously low, the people on the cypherpunks list who pay attention to what is happening in the outside world decide to deluge the list with a variety of posts reminding me how many reasons I have to be depressed about the creeping tyranny and corresponding usurpment of human rights that is threatening my right to the pursuit of drug-induced happiness? Even more depressing is the realization that I am a cloistered type of individual who has little contact with the outside world, and that this probably indicates that I am only seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the atrocities being commited in the name of government. Aren't we safe, yet? With the thousands of laws that have been generated for our protection over the last few years, shouldn't we be *more* safe now, rather than *less* safe? Since our safety seems to depend on the erosion of our Constitutional rights, could the problem be that our rights aren't being eroded *fast* enough? Should we be pressing the government for immediate suspension of *all* of our Constitutional rights, so that we can achieve total safety *immediately*? Or should I go hide out at my family's cabin at Ruby Ridge until the government has finally made the rest of the world safe for me? A CypherPunk Enquirer subscriber Oppressed Minds Want To Know
