[Noise] Paranoia in the Comics
This has no real crypto relevence, but some anarchistic relevence. Sometimes you find anti-government paranoia in the strangest of places... In the Ziggy strip for 10/25/95, Ziggy is in a Psychiatrist's office. The shrink is stating "You're afraid of the government, are you? I'm required to report that sort of thing you know." You can tell the state of distrust of the state when you see such things in a generally bland and spineless strip like Ziggy. What next? Little Billy from Family Circus bringing home a copy of the Anarchists Cookbook? Charlie Brown getting his phone tapped by Louie Freeh? Garfield joining the EFF? The mind boggles... | Visualize a world without lawyers! | alano@teleport.com | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmerman unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | | -- PGP 2.6.2 key available on request -- | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.teleport.com/~alano | <fnord> |

Alan; As much as I found the comment interesting, it probably belonged somewhere like libernet-d, not here on cypherpunks. [I'm posting this in public, as I do about one in ten such messages, so that a wider audience of people will be discouraged from posting such things in advance. Don't bother mailing me a message saying "you are adding to the noise yourself, why not mail in private" -- I do that 90% of the time. Sometimes the nose levels rise enough that I feel that a few public mentions would do some good.] Perry
