Lately I have noticed that President Chenny has not shot
any other Judges, and that the village idiot and that
skinny black street walker have not started the attack
on Iran, but this idea of the FBI morons listening to my
Vonage is a big no no.

I am already making plans to go to a FREE country, but
where can I go that the WORLD BANK has not already
made the people slaves?

Australia was fun in the early 80′s, so was West Germany,
and now it seems that Ukraine and Romania are starting
to look more like America did before Regean and his short
nightmare wife [ who ran the country for years into the ground ] were in office.

This country of freedom and liberty is over, 1984 was here
and still is, wake up people.

Its 2007 and water and poop can run uphill.

â€œconsumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.â€?

As a non-resident or citizen of the US of A, I find this set of conclusions drawn from the FBI of the USA not a smidge arrogant.

The FBI “might” have some input to the control of citizens of the US, but outside of that piece of North America, they mean nothing, and their rules even less.

Thus, how can ‘cripple open source software, which isnâ€™t likely to contain the sort of accommodations that American law enforcement agencies will ask for.’ (should read ‘for which American [USA!] law enforcement agencies will ask.’) but be that as it may, it will not impact an entire world devoid of USA laws, but governed by its own Soverign State laws.

I am reminded of words by Ivan Illich:

“The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
