Hmm where do you draw the line.. peer2peer file sharing, MS Networking, SMTP, telephones, snail mail, visiting foreign countries, meeting people at all.. ?
I am a very very poor student of history (my secondary school only offered a strange variety that I never paid attention to) but I recently have come to associate in my mind the current US (and UK) admisitrations to the distant TV-based views of the 1950s in the US, when accusations 'anti-americanism' or being a communist meant the administration waived your constitutional rights for you - just now the accusations are either 'terrorism' or 'anti-globalism' (to grasp at a poor analogy). The problem - to try to steer this bus back onto topic - is the sheer amount of self-policing that the powers-that-want-to-be want us to do. Or it becomes our fault. Peter
