According to Ronald Duchin, graduate of the US Army War College and former special assistant to the Secy of Defense and director of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, activists fall into one of four categories: radicals, opportunists, idealists, and realists. He recommends a three-step strategy to neutralize activists:

1. isolate the radicals

Tim May Kelly Goen Phil Zimmermann (then) Belize, say

2. "cultivate" the idealists

CFP (a virtual terrarium :-)) EFF (agrabiz!) Phil Zimmermann (now) Eric Hughes Michael Froomkin Any cypherpunk who's actually making money on this stuff :-). Anguilla Vanuatu Me ;-)

3. co-opt the realists into agreeing with industry
