Very good point. One that I was about to make in this thread somewhere, but you beat me to it. It's vitally important that the middle class take up arms against politicians that are restricting our freedoms both in the computer marketplace and in the world at large. That means that we all need to be aware of the legislation that is currently being generated and that is being voted on. For instance, is anyone aware of a secret vote that took place recently, (initiated by the democrats) that would take local real estate development decision making out of the hands of local people and into the hands of the federal government? Well, I guess that's a dumb question, cause how could anybody be aware of it if it was a secret vote? It's against the law to have secret congressional votes. That's why they announced the location of the secret meeting to the press after the vote was over with. Wait a minute...they still broke the law then. Well...I guess they can get away with it since the dems do that kind of stuff all the time. The point to this is, if you do not become alert to what is going on in Congress, then they are going to pass whatever they want to pass. If you do not protest the violation of laws by lawmakers, then they will break those laws whenever they want. You cannot rely on information from television anymore. It is controlled by the liberals. Fox news is a possible exception; however I personally recommend talk radio shows as your primary source of information. Laura Ingram, Drudge Report, and G. Gordon Liddy are good starting points. Realplayer can put you in touch with those guys; try WTAW out of College Station, Texas. A group movement where interested individuals promote activism is a good starting point. Hell, this list is a good starting point. I like talking about Mandrake technical stuff as much as the next guy; but if you don't protect your right to do so first and foremost, you might end up in jail sometime in the future when the SPA comes knocking at your door. Join the EFF. Listen to talk radio. Stay in touch.
