"It seems a hypocritical position for Cypherpunks to take." Assuming that John Young speaks for "Cyphepunks" is bizarre. --Tim May "The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant." --John Stuart Mill
