-Caveat Lector- FYI, Bard -----Original Message----- From: Slick Willie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 1999 10:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Patriot_Net] Intrusions From: "Slick Willie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, since this seems to be the place (according to the intro message) to "vent steam" here goes. I thought I might list just a few of the ways gov't has imposed itself (in my opinion unlawfully) into our lives. Recent e-bay scandal: I learned from that that selling your own body parts is against the law. I can understand there being a law against selling someone else's body parts, but it seems to me that if you're stupid enough to sell your own, go for it. Finance: I believe it's "unlawful" to have more than $10,000 currency on your person unless Uncle Sam knows about it. Isn't that intrusive? How about this one: Some states make the mobile use of scanners illegal. Since when does any gov't agency, state or otherwise, have any right to tell me what I can and can't listen to in my car? Then there is the PGP/Encryption issue. Sure, give the gov't a key to all your messages.... a little payoff money there maybe? Europeans getting trade secets? Go to http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19990518S0004 I'll have more as I think of them.... "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
