>>[re Kirkland, Jim Bell, etc.] <<
Kirklands about FOI isnt it? Publics right to basic knowledge of public
servants?
Bell,was tracked with GPS,shouldn't he have been given an intervention
order? Was that entrapment?
""How can we translate the freedom afforded by the Internet to ordinary
life?" How can we keep government from banning encryption, digital cash,
and other systems that will improve our freedom?" Suddenly, Bell had a
revolutionary idea. ("Revolutionary" is the word he uses, and it fits.) You
and me--the little guys, the ordinary working people of the world--could
get together, all pitch in, and pay to have every rotten scoundrel in
politics assassinated. And we could do it legally. Sort of. Bell imagined
an organization that would award "a cash prize to somebody who correctly
'predicted' the death of one of a list of violators of rights, usually
either government employees, officeholders, or appointees. It could ask for
anonymous contributions from the public, and individuals would be able to
send those contributions using digital cash." He explains that "using
modern methods of public-key encryption and anonymous digital cash, it
would be possible to make such awards in such a way so that nobody knows
who is getting awarded the money, only that the award is being given. Even
the organization itself would have no information that could help the
authorities find the person responsible for the prediction, let alone the
one who caused the death." Kill the president,pr.
