You sound like a good apparatchik. I'm sure similar pressure is being exercised against programmers who work on electronic voting machines. Perhaps it is my eastern European heritage that makes me more sensitive to the fact that a government "of the people" may not be operating "for the people." I do not believe that when a government official approaches you and asks you to commit a crime, the proper answer should not be "Yes Sir!" Some of you might find it interesting to watch the movie trilogy: "Man of Marble," "Man of Iron," and "Man of Steel." In those films it is interesting to observe the attitude that this government has towards its citizens. Looks so much like what the neocons want America to be. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
