Won't it be wonderful if the Court rules in favor of the 1st?

OTOH, why trust in a corruptible legal system? 

Use cash and don't leave the ID information at the goddam bookstore in
the first place. If you're going to keep the book and you can't deduct
it, peel stickers, destroy receipts. Duh!

It is time for books to be published on CD. Using open-source tools and
good encryption, then the fascists can't even tell what you read. Unless
your OS is corrupted.

Which brings me to the "Digital Church" e-mail. That has been suggested
before. Doesn't seem very useful. I think some more useful things to do
are :

 Hack CD burners to add a SetBurnerIDCode command.

 Gather, duplicate and distribute widely state, federal
 and unpopular information that is quickly disappearing.

It's like F451 - private archives are the only way to save proscribed
information. We're just about four months into the latest excuse the
trash civil liberties and they're now telling us it could last for six
years. Extrapolation looks nasty.
