It is precisely this kind of self-defeating pessimism that has allowed the current state of affairs to develop.

You grossly misinterpreted my remark. I believe that socialist-statism exhibited by the current US gov't is about to crack due to overspending and technology. Whether it will go peacefully or not is another question. I stand ready to defend myself if necessary, but I prefer to kick the statists in the ass by deploying strong encryption. When information can flow, the statists lose. They know that; witness the frantic effort to outlaw encryption. Too late, though. I'm writing code to hasten the end of the statists. Just what are you doing besides hiding behind anonymity?
