Well, that was the kind of predictable caveat that we are not surprised was thought to be necessary...32 years ago. What ultimately happened to ME explains why Hamill wasn't acting unreasonably.
Well, trying to fight against the govt, alone, isn't too reasonable, though it's certainly courageous. On the other hand, hamill's disclaimer seems rather cowardly. But anyway, it was a side note. What I think is more important is his hilariously wrong 'prediction' about 'technology' making wiretapping 'obsolete'.
And why I don't resent Bill Frezza kicking the idea off Digitaliberty so soon. The issue there was getting the idea out, which Hamill did. Jim Bell
