Death Pen

2002-02-14 Thread proffr11

  YORK: Racial bias, incompetent law enforcement and political pressure on 
judges are key factors behind a serious error rate in the US's death 
penalty system, according to a new study.
Heavy and indiscriminate use of capital punishment in some states, such 
as Texas and Florida, magnifies the problem and increases the risk of 
innocent people being sentenced to death.

The time has come to fix the death penalty or end it, concludes the 
study, A Broken System by researchers at New York's Columbia University. 
There is growing awareness that serious, reversible error permeates the 
system, putting innocent lives at risk, heightening the suffering of 
victims, leaving killers at large, wasting tax dollars and failing citizens 
and the justice system.

The study is the second part of a landmark examination of US death penalty 
cases from 1973 to 1995. The first instalment, released in June 2000, found 
courts reversed 68 per cent of death verdicts.

The report claims the incompetence of defence lawyers, misconduct of police 
and prosecutors and bias of jurors and judges accounted for 76 per cent of 
the reversals.

In 82 per cent of cases, the defendant did not receive the death sentence 
at retrial, including 9 per cent who were exonerated. Since 1975, 99 
inmates have been freed from death row.

The study finds high reversal rates in areas where the homicide risk for 
whites is higher than for blacks and in jurisdictions where local 
authorities have poor crime-fighting records. Further, the more often and 
directly state trial judges are subject to popular election, and the more 
partisan those elections are, the higher the state's rate of error.

The study also finds significant discrepancies within states. In Lexington 
County, South Carolina, the death sentence was imposed 93 times per 1000 
homicides. In Richland County, a few kilometres away, the rate was 9 per 1000.

The capital system is collapsing under the weight of error and the risk of 
executing the innocent is high, research leader James Liebman said.

Professor Liebman opposes capital punishment and critics charge the study 
is skewed to reflect his views. They say the fact errors are detected and 
sentences reversed shows the system is not broken.

 I believe I understand the basic concepts of AP - perhaps not the 
far-reaching implications, but the fundamentals. I've thought about it, 
and I am against this system. What will happen when you've killed off all 
of the politicians/gov't employees who haven't quit? Do you really think 
this will make things better?
  1. There will be no politicans and government employees, except for those 
few who do not arouse the ire of more than a tiny fraction of the 
population, and are paid for by voluntary contributions. In other words, 
damn few. 2. There will be no taxes and no war. Any disputes will be of 
very small scale, a handful of people at most. 3. Individuals will be able 
to, and in fact will be responsible to defend themselves, although they may 
be able to do it by proxy. People will always have the option of defending 
others, and will do so if they believe that it deters future crimes that 
might be against them.

 Anarchy simply won't work with people. Have you ever read Lord of the 
Flies? I'm sure some people haven't.
  Yes, I read it years ago. That book is fiction. Whether it represents any 
sort of potential reality is highly questionable. Even its premise is 
stilted: It hypothesizes a tiny, essentially homogenous society populated 
by immature boys, dropped into circumstances entirely foreign from anything 
they had ever known, with no adult guidance at all. Can you really expect 
good results from this, in fiction no less? Would it have made a good book 
if everything had happened hunky-dory? Anyway, anarchy is tradionally 
considered unstable because the strong are able to oppress the weak, and 
the weak can't effectively fight back, so governments are instituted. The 
system I've described, AP, allows a substantial number of anonymous weak 
people to (anonymously) pool their resources and defend themselves against 
a smaller number of strong oppressors. This is NEW. It may, in fact, allow 
anarchy to exist in a stable form, which may sound like an oxymoron but is 
not. If anarchy does indeed work, when suitably stabilized, then your 
premise is simply wrong.

  Have any of you AP proponents considered that perhaps our oh-so-corrupt 
government officials are simply the best that our amoral, decaying 
populace has to offer? What would we gain by rubbing them out?
  I see we have another Dr. Pangloss here. the best of all possible worlds.
We have plenty to gain by removing them from their positions of power. They 
are wasteful parasites. They engage in make-work. They manipulate the rest 
of us. They criminalize activities that should not be crimes. They make us 
waste our resources, for example by keeping ever-larger numbers of people 
in jail and prison. They are protected by militaries, which are wasteful 
uses of our resources. Ultimately, they end up killing huge numbers of 
people, ultimately just to protect the supremacy of these government 
employees and officeholders.
  Maybe the current form of government isn't perfect, or even great, but 
it is still much better than anything that could possibly result from 
anonymous terrorism, which is really what AP is, isn't it?
Who is to say that we even need a government? What, exactly, is the 
function of a government? Is that function truly necessary? Remember, AP 
changes the political landscape substantially. You can't any longer say 
things like governmnet is necessary so that we can protect ourselves 
against foreign nations, because there will no longer be any foreign 
nations, or foreign armies, etc.
 Peace can only be achieved by understanding, not through force or fear.
Sounds like a truism that isn't necessarily true. Don't deny individuals 
the right to defend themselves. If you do, then you actually encourage 
force used against them, and magnify their fear. Don't selectively apply 
this rule to ordinary citizens, while forgetting to apply it to officials. 
And maybe we don't really even need to achieve peace. I've come to the 
conclusion that the only reason war is necessary is to protect the 
leadership of a country, not to protect its citizens. Remove that 
leadership from power, and peace will be automatic. Jim Bell

 Stalking Law Called Too Narrow for Meg Ryan Fan Crime: Officials must
 prove he meant to cause fear when he broke into a Malibu home he
 thought was actress'.

 By ANNA GORMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER

 John Michael Hughes gave a simple, if incredible, explanation to
 sheriff's deputies for why he broke into a Malibu house last month.
 His fiancee forgot to leave a key under the mat, so he had to smash
 the bedroom window to climb inside.

 The woman Hughes calls his fiancee is actress Meg Ryan, who says she
 has never met the 30-year-old former real estate agent from Florida.

 Hughes, who was also convicted last year of attempting to enter
 President Bush's Texas ranch with firearms, reacted with disbelief
 when a detective told him he was not engaged to Ryan. Hughes said
 that no matter where in the world Ryan was, he would find her.
 Though Hughes might seem like an ideal candidate for charges under
 California's anti-stalking law, prosecutors say he doesn't fit the
 narrow legal definition of a stalker because they cannot prove that he
 intended to cause fear in the actress--no matter how fearful she now
 is. Although the state has made great strides in the last decade in
 cracking down on stalkers, prosecutors say, the Hughes case highlights
 weaknesses that remain.

Even when the Market takes a dive like today, LazyTraders still make
money.

SMSI was up 48% today,
SGMS was up 100% today, and
ELAS was up 172% today.

And of course, Michael's Chatroom got a chunk of that.

Virtually every day there are Stocks that move 50% or more.

The trick is, of course, to know when they start to move, when to get in,
how to get in and when to get out.

The System we have developed shows you how to find Stocks that have more
than 3 times as many buyers as sellers, when to get in, how to get in and
when to get out.
.

What do you think happens when you see in real time that there are more
than 3 times as many buyers as sellers for a Stock?

Exactly.

And what do you think happens when you then also see that there is
Mind-Blowing News about this Stock in Real Time?

Exactly. 

You can learn this by becoming a Lazy DayTrader at:

http://www.lazytrader.com.

And then, if you are really lazy you can join Michael's Chatroom for a
small monthly fee.

Michael is a Lazy DayTrader who made $360,000 in 3 weeks starting with
only $10,000.

Michael's Chatroom has made over 1350% since July 9, 2001.

You can use the Chatroom in 2 ways:

Participate and reinforce your DayTrading skills or just let Michael beep
your computer when there is a buy.

You can do this 5 days a week from 7.45 AM till 8 PM EST so even if you
have a few hours this might be profitable for you.

You can start with as low as $500.

You'll have unlimited support.

Join us and have fun.

Have a nice day.

Alert issued for potential teddy
  bear bombs

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN)
-- The FBI has issued an alert to 350
law enforcement agencies in the
southwest and Salt Lake City for
potential Valentine teddy bear
bombs after a suspicious transaction
at a Wal-Mart last month.

   Law enforcement sources
said
   authorities also were on
the alert at
   airports in case the
suspected
   bear-bombs might be
carried onto
   airplanes on Valentine's
Day.

   The FBI said a
clean-shaven male,
   possibly of Middle
Eastern descent,
   purchased nine Valentine
teddy bears,
   20 inches tall, and 14
canisters of
  propane, 9 inches tall, small enough to fit inside the
teddy bears. The man also
  bought 12 packets of BBs -- small, round projectiles
usually fired from air
  guns.

  He paid in cash on January 15 at the Wal-Mart in
Stevenson Ranch,
  California, about 25 miles north of Los Angeles. He
left in a white GMC or
  Chevrolet delivery truck.

  After September 11, that purchase warrants that we
take a closer look, FBI
  spokesman Matthew McLaughlin said. Authorities were
notified February 4,
  McLaughlin said.

  Authorities emphasized that the man has committed no
crime, but the purchase
  has raised suspicions and authorities want to question
him about it.

  At the same time, authorities want Americans to be on
the lookout for
  suspicious packages on Valentine's Day due to the
level of concern over the
  purchase.

  The man was captured on surveillance tape and his
picture was included in the
  alert to law enforcement agencies.

Precisely so. Brin's formulation is flawed from the onset by the 
monopoly of use of force that the State has.

We'll watch you, and you'll watch us!, except the State has the guns, 
the tax power, the control, the ability to set up areas where no cameras 
can legally be placed.

Imagine the situation in Iran or Afghanistan if they implemented 
BrinWorld: The mullahs outlaw televisions, radios, magazines, Western 
books, and whatever else their theocracy dislikes. Imagine that the 
mullahs themselves are being watched by video cameras. Would this lessen 
the oppressiveness of the theocratic, totalitarian state? Of course not. 
Because the issue is NOT mostly about whether cops follow the rules, 
which is where BrinWorld went off the rails.

The issue is not really who will watch the watchers. That's minor 
compared to the more fundamental issues of state power and coercion, 
whether watched with video cameras or not.

The notion that a Panopticon (everything being watched) is desirable is 
one of the weirdest mutations of political theory in the past century.

The notion that a Panopticon (everything being watched) is desirable is 
one of the weirdest mutations of political theory in the past century.

Bentham's Panopticon has beguiled watchers since its invention.
What the notion does is hypnotize the watchers into believing they
really do see everything, and this notion still inspires vast funding
for surveillance programs around the globe.

But those who are supposedly being watched can fairly quickly
learn that the watchers are drunkened by their surveillance
conceits, as prisoners did in Bentham's day, and devise means
and methods to hide in the inevitable gaps in oversight systems.

What surveillance systems do, and the more powerful the more
corrupting, is to lull the operators and the customers into diminished
awareness of human ingenuity and capability, literally becoming
numbed to daily challenges to keep senses alert and responsive
to new perceptions not known or understood at the time the
oversight systems were devised.

Another consequence of panopticonism is the heightened 
susceptibility of abuse, bribery, blackmail and coercion of the 
operators and the customers. As well as the production of
phony revelations and disinformation about the systems
capabilities and applicabilities.

Practitioners of panopticonism and counter-panopticonism
are at each others' throats with wild claims and counterclaims,
and the most common accusation is criminality, which may
be laughable in a field where criminality is by definition moot.

Panopticonists always presume to be above the law, asserting
that they serve to undergird law and its enforcement, and thus
must be free of law's constraints to assure that the outer limits
of law are protected.

Counter-panopticists hoot at this, for they know from field
experience how much the surveillists miss, then lie about.

Spying, intelligence, and their counters and customers are 
inheritors of Bentham's alluring scam.

Recall that Bentham's panopticon only works for believers
in an omniscient deity. And those who believe in arms laughed 
at Bentham's success with the credulous in getting them
to give up the fight without bearing arms.

As we know about contemporary surveillance systems: a large
percentage of them are dummies which work as well as the
semi-credible real things. Again, as with deities and satellites
and Wall Street offerings, not to mention in this holy cave,
strong crypto.

RFC for TBP 1.0 (teddy bear protocol)

2002-02-14 Thread An Metet

Now, imagine the following: terrorists become sensible and THREE of them engage in the 
shopping spree: One buys gas canisters, one buys pellets and one buys teddy bears. 
Yes, there is a conspiracy but how does the government protect us from it ?

Obviously, by matching the purchase records with personal contact/communication 
records.

So Ms. Farr will be glad to know, that in order to protect us, her government will 
consider you a potential terrorist if someone you exchanged (encrypted) mail with 
bought the pellets in the same week in which you bought teddy bears.

In order to prevent this, we need a website at which all pellet purchases will be 
announced, so that our friends and business partners avoid purchasing teddy bears at 
the same time.

Valentine's teddy bear bomb alert

Los Angeles: US law enforcement authorities today issued a warning of a
possible Valentine's Day teddy bear bomb threat after a man went on a
suspicious shopping spree that included buying nine cuddly toys.

The FBI said a man, possibly of Arab descent, bought 14 gas canisters,
12 packages of lead gun pellets and nine white Valentine teddy bears at
Stevenson Ranch in California on January 15.

We don't know why he bought this or what he was going to use it for,
FBI spokesman Matt McLaughlin said.

It's possible he had nine Valentines ... but we believe this could also
be used as an explosive device, he added.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Bosley said authorities had been alerted to the
purchases by an anonymous tip but added that the man -- who was between
22 and 35 years old -- was not a suspect.

This man isn't a suspect but we want the public to be aware that this
might be considered suspicious activity so that they can be conscious if
they receive, for instance, an anonymous gift in the form of a teddy
bear.

Detectives want to interview the man who made the suspicious purchases
and have asked the public to come forward with any information about
him.

 So Ms. Farr will be glad to know, that in order to protect us,
 her government will consider you a potential terrorist if someone
 you exchanged (encrypted) mail with bought the pellets in the
 same week in which you bought teddy bears.

Don't tell me how I think or feel, what a cheap shot.

Ms. Farr thinks the best thing we can do is valiantly protect your
liberties, and avoid being provoked into a repressive orientation by fear,
and into division by uncertainty. When you see these things, you are
probably offended and perceive a bad future. I see visions of the death of a
nation. (Romans sacrificed too much of their liberty for safety, it's one of
the reasons they lost it, and fought two centuries of guerrilla warfare in
Spain.) I would rather fight on my feet, than live on my knees. But war
always means sacrifice, and sometimes you do have to duck. At any rate, I
really don't think that your problem is with the likes of me.

...I well know the character of that senseless monster the people, unable
either to support the present or foresee the future, always desirous of
attempting the impossible, and of rushing headlong to its ruin. Yet your
unthinking folly shall not induce me to permit your own destruction, nor to
betray the trust committed to me by my sovereign and yours. Success in war
depends less on intrepidity than on prudence to await, to distinguish, and
to seize the decisive moment of fortune. You appear to regard the present
contest as a game of hazard, which you might determine by a single throw of
the dice; but I, at least, have learnt from experience to prefer security to
speed. But it seems that you offer to reinforce my troops and to march with
them against the enemy. Where then have you acquired your knowledge of war?
And what true soldier is not aware that the result of a battle must chiefly
rest on the skill and discipline of combatants? Ours is a real enemy in the
field; we march to a battle and not to a review.

Microsoft Web Toolkit Has Security
 Loophole -Expert
 Thu Feb 14, 2:43 PM ET

 By Elinor Mills Abreu

 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A security expert said on Thursday
 that a feature that was added to make Microsoft Corp.'s new Web
 services development tool kit more secure would actually leave the
software open to attack from
 hackers.

The discovery comes as the software giant puts a
greater emphasis on
security in the hopes that computer users will feel
comfortable using its new
Web services, which promise access to any software
program from any
device over the Internet.

Microsoft has long been criticized as sacrificing
security for functionality in its
products, leaving millions of Windows users to
contend with viruses and
other security issues that can compromise data and
networks.

The new flaw was discovered in Visual C++ .NET, also
called version 7,
and could affect any type of software program a
developer chooses to write
with the tool kit, according to Gary McGraw, chief
technology officer of
Dulles, Virginia-based Cigital Inc., a software risk
management consultancy.

The flawed feature was intended to allow developers
to provide greater
security to the software they write for Microsoft's
new .NET Web services
platform, announced by the company with fanfare on
Wednesday, he said.

The feature was designed and implemented
incorrectly. Instead of
protecting, it doesn't do anything, said McGraw,
author of a book called
Building Secure Software.

 Specifically, the bug is in the software that compiles source code into
code the machine can
 understand, he said, adding that the bug allows for a common type of
security vulnerability called a
 buffer overflow, which could allow a remote attacker to take control
of a computer.

Re: Preventing double spending

2002-02-14 Thread Adam Back

George [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
 Chaum's digital cash system in several places seems to rely on
 having the customer affirmitively identify himself to the bank, for
 example in order to prevent double spending.  

There are two general approaches to ecash protocols, online and
offline.  This applies to Chaum's protocol which has:

- an online version where the payee has to deposit the coin at the
  time he receives it to guarantee it hasn't been double spent.

- an offline version where the payee deposits some time later, but is
  assured that if the coin is double spent, the bank will learn the
  identity of the person who withdrew the coin.  It's too late to
  prevent the double spending as the payees are not online with each
  other.  The withdrawl protocol embeds the identity of the withdrawer
  in the coin such that if it is spent twice two equations are
  revealed which can be solved to compute the withdrawers identity.

 I think this would represent a fatal flaw for the adoption of such a
 system, because 1) many potential early adopters wouldn't be willing
 to trust the system not to somehow leak the identity 

That could be a problem for example with software bug resulting in
accidental double spending.  The bank wouldn't be able to distinguish
necessarily between that and intentional double spending.

 and 2) in any case, they would be unwilling to identify themselves
 as users of the system, and certainly unwilling to reveal how much
 digital cash they were buying.  

Well the DigiCash technology, and I presume still Ecash Technologies
which bought the patents and has/had some description of a product
suite on it's web page is the same, were both using the online
protocol.

In fact the basic offline Chaum protocol is quite inefficient as it
uses cut-and-choose, though see [1] for a more efficient variant.

Tying the withdrawal (and deposit) to a bank account was an arbitrary
policy / business decision not related to the protocols.

So it would be quite possible with online Chaum e-cash to have
accountless operation.  Similarly I quite agree with your comments on
financial privacy of not wanting necessarily to reveal the volume of
withdrawals and deposits, and it is also quite possible to have
accountless deposit (you just get fresh anonymous cash for your
deposited cash).

So the low tech approach to your question is to use the online
protocols which removes the need for identity in the withdrawal
protocol.

 Another problem is, in a free-banking world, it's quite likely that
 many banks will themselves cheat given a chance.  All sorts of
 potential problems here, but I think at bare minimum you'd like to
 be able to ask for some kind of proof if the bank tells you, that
 coin's no good, it's been spent already.

You could make the coin contain a serial number which is the hash of a
random number.  If you have a coin you were given you will know the
preimage, the bank will not.  If they claim it's spent but can't show
you the preimage, they're lying.

 So here's my idea: the customer has to buy coins in batches of size
 100.  He creates an identity (public-private key pair) for that
 batch.  He has to generate something like 1000 coins and the bank
 uses the cut-and-choose protocol to verify that all the coins
 correspond to the same identity.

 Now comes the part that I don't know how to do, and the question is,
 is this even possible?  The idea is, that these coins aren't the
 same as typical Chaumian coins, they are supposed to retain the
 property that, assuming they're only spent once, they can't be
 correlated with each other, but if someone attempts to spend a coin
 twice, not only will his identity be revealed, but it will also
 become possible to recognize coins issued to the same identity and
 invalidate them all when the cheater attempts to use them.

Probably you could do that with Brands' ecash protocol, it's much more
flexible than Chaum's protocols.

One approach that might work is to construct a trap-door in the
unlinkability of the coins.  Then when a coin double spent the
trap-door key is revealed and you could link the remaining coins.  The
tricky part is you would have to convince the bank that the coins you
submitted had this trap-door property with a zero-knowledge proof.

Brands' coins can have multiple attributes which can have quite
arbitrary values.  You show the bank the attributes during withdrawal,
but the resulting secret-key certificate is blinded and so unlinkable.
When a coin is shown normally (spent) a user selected subset of the
attributes can be revealed.When a coin is double spent all of the
attributes are revealed.

Also the offline version of Brands' ecash has an efficient withdrawal
protocol compared to Chaum's cut and choose.

There are a number of interesting degrees of flexibility with Brands'
protocols.  If you're interested to explore do I'd recommend reading
[2] which I find more accessible than his thesis book.

Comcast Admits To Spying on Customers

Comcast Admits To Spying on Customers

By Tim McDonald
www.NewsFactor.com,
Part of the NewsFactor Network
February 13, 2002

Stored data can be subpoenaed by law enforcement officials or by lawyers in
civil cases - and it can be stolen.

Cable Internet giant Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSK) reportedly has begun tracking
the Web browsing habits of its customers, keeping records of every Web page
they visit. The company has roughly 1 million high-speed Internet customers.

The third largest cable TV company behind ATT Cable and AOL Time Warner
(NYSE: AOL), Comcast admitted that it stores the Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses -- unique numeric Internet addresses assigned to subscribers --
along with the Internet address of every Web page subscribers visit.

Jeffrey Chester of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Digital Democracy,
a nonprofit watchdog group, called the tracking incredibly aggressive.

It's not a surprise they are tracking what people are doing, it's just the
tip of the iceberg, Chester told NewsFactor. The next generation of
broadband services provided by Comcast and others allows for this kind of
tracking. The whole business model moving forward for cable and the
television industry generally is one which emulates the deeply personalized
e-commerce strategies.

Sensitive Information

Comcast also said it stores sensitive information, such as credit card
numbers and passwords, in a database managed by network infrastructure
specialist Inktomi (Nasdaq: INKT).

Stored data can be subpoenaed by law enforcement officials or lawyers in
civil cases -- and, as has been proven several times, it can be stolen.

For example, last week, a database with thousands of records involving
potential Comcast Business Communication Internet customers was found
exposed on the Web.

Comcast said the snooping was part of a technological overhaul launched to
save money, according to wire service reports. However, Inktomi, which sold
the technology to Comcast, asserted that Comcast was collecting more
information than was absolutely necessary for technological enhancements.

Leading Role

Comcast claimed the tracking is permitted in its service agreement with
subscribers and said it does not intend to infringe on the privacy of its
customers. The company would not say how long the information it collected
was stored.

A company spokesperson said that customers' Web browsing is being recorded
in Detroit, Michigan, and parts of Delaware and Virginia, and that such
tracking will spread across the United States by the end of this week.

Personalized television is really the cornerstone of the plan Comcast and
others have for the convergence of television with the Internet in the
broadband online medium, Chester said. So, technologies are being
deployed, strategies are being developed, investments are being made in
hardware and software and applications all across the board -- and Comcast
is playing the leading role in that regard.

Excuse for Privacy Erosion?

Some civil libertarian groups have openly expressed concern about the
erosion of online privacy in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist
strikes.

The FBI has been particularly aggressive in rooting out online evidence,
serving ISPs with warrants under a 1978 antiterrorism law.

The privacy debate has been placed on the back burner, conveniently for
companies like Comcast, because of the concern over security since September
11th, Chester said. As this and other incidents will undoubtedly show, we
need strong consumer safeguards when it comes to cable broadband.

More Cities 'Digitized'

Comcast announced a fourth-quarter net loss of US$321 million, due mainly to
its costly effort to migrate customers from @Home, the broadband Internet
service provider that recently filed for bankruptcy.

The company has said it plans to add more high-speed Internet customers and
is planning to spend $1.3 billion to get more cities digitized.

Comcast made a winning bid of $72 billion for ATT Broadband in December. If
the deal is approved by shareholders, the Federal Trade Commission and the
Federal Communications Commission, it will result in the largest cable ISP
in the United States, with 2.2 million high-speed Internet customers.

The combined company would be called ATT Comcast Corp.

A society, at least the American democarcy we live in, is built upon the
concept of us working together in order to defend ourselves. The ONLY way
to do that is to recognize that all people are created equal and that in
order to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness people must be
provided with the basics of sustenance if they are unable to do it
themselves. This does NOT mean they do not accrue a contra coup
responsibility. Charity is not endless. However, if you don't provide
these basics then you create an environment that will lead to your own
destruction. There is a big difference between providing legal, medical,
and basic life sustenance through civil mechanisms and trying to set
everyone up in a mansion. You seem to miss the distinction.

Gibberers Decline and Fall of the US Empire.

2002-02-14 Thread proffr11

In economic terms, the US has actually been in decline relative to the
rest of the world since it accounted for half the world's output after
the second world war. In the past few years its share has bounced back to
nearly 30% on some measures, partly because of the Soviet implosion and
Japanese stagnation, and partly because of America's own long boom. But
in the medium term, the strain of military overstretch is likely to make
itself felt. More immediately, the US could face regional challenges,
perhaps from China or Russia, which it would surely balk at pushing to
military conflict. Then there is the likelihood of social eruptions in
client states like Saudi Arabia which no amount of military technology
will be able to see off. America's greatest defeat was, it should not be
forgotten, inflicted by a peasant army in Vietnam. US room for manoeuvre
may well prove more limited than might appear'

 selected posters removed. (If anyone has suggestions on how to do this
 with hypermail without requiring constant manual intervention, please
 let me know.)

I think filtering out the list members who post incorrect thoughts is a 
fine idea. As for how best to do it, maybe past censors are available to 
act as aribters of who is useless, who posts incorrect ideas, who must 
be filtered for legal reasons, who must be censored to avoid insulting 
employers, and so on.


 - I have no idea of what kind of traffic to expect from this archive.
 I'll keep it up for a few weeks, at least. If my ISP comes down on me,
 or my machine becomes unusable from traffic, or it undergoes constant
 hack attempts, I'll reconsider my options.

Ah, an archive that starts on 2-13-02, deep in the twilight of the gods, 
and ends maybe in a few weeks. A quaint idea.

Never mind my suggestions above. Yours is not really a serious archive.

nude burglars vs. capitalism

2002-02-14 Thread proffr11

 Quoth PT: In India, there are gangs of nudist burglers. They run into a 
house, forcing the inhabitants to retreat/leave out of embarassment, then 
carry items to a waiting car. I suppose, not requiring *any* investment, 
these are among the most uncapitalist folks around. The pigs, at least, 
feel compelled to buy uniforms.

Reminds me of an online photo taken in Sweden round Gothenburg police riots 
last year.It was on Indymedia,(should still be there though their video 
storage filled up.) The photo showed the back view of naked activist 
confronting a black and blue line of plastic peanut riot police.Indy look 
like adding new sites soon inc one in China.P trei can run off and warn his 
Chinese gestapo mates now,fuck him,he's a dead man.

 Simple proof using reductio ad absurdam:

Your example is absurd, I agree. And easily proven to be false.
 
 Let us assume you are correct, and the right to life does NOT imply any
 right to property.

An individual has a right to life, they have a right to eat, sleep, etc.

 Consider the following hypothetical (but feasible) scenario:

But now you've changed the game, instead of talking about the rights of
the individual you are now talking about the consequences of n-party
interactions. Not the same thing at all. Your argument is a strawman.
 
 A stalks B. Whenever B acquires food or drink, A deprives him of it. B
 has no right to property, so A has done no wrong.

Ah, you agree then that 'property right' has to do with self defence which
requires two (2) parties. If there is no second party to take the property
there is nothing to defend against and hence the concept of 'property'
within the context of the individual becomes moot.

Hence, right to life is not congruent to property rights (which is an
individual right even if no other people are around). But rather
property rights ARE congruent to self defence rights (which makes no
sense if no other people are around).

In other words, a single individual has no property rights but rather
those rights come out of the interaction of one or more individuals.

Old Chomsky lecture on the Mideast cris(es) (fwd),

2002-02-14 Thread proffr11

The Lying Liar Who Always Lies.(A homage to jamesd)
I have written this about that lying liar Noam Chomsky to show that nothing 
Chomsky, that lying apologist for tyranny, mass murder, and brutal 
inequality of power says can be believed, because that lying liar is always 
lying, and to illustrate his methods of deceiving his readers.
When that lying liar Chomsky lies, he does not say plainly in so many words 
X is true, instead he uses convoluted, indirect, and lawyer-like 
sentences that lead the reader to believe that X is true, and that Chomsky 
has presented a well documented case that X is true, whereas in fact that 
lying liar Chomsky, that lying apologist for tyranny, brutal inequality of 
power, and mass murder _has not actually said X at all_. That lying 
apologist for totalitarianism phrases things in such a way as to give the 
reader a false impression without actually stating the lie in so many 
words, so whenever one of his lies is exposed, that lying liar Chomsky's 
lying fans lie Ah, but Chomsky did not actually say X. Even though any 
true-believing anarcho-capitalist who -- like me -- defends property rights 
by stealing from Herman and Chomsky, reading the work in dispute would get 
the impression, after just a few hours of mental squinting and having 
refused to take my thorazine for a couple weeks, that that lying liar 
Chomsky had somehow or other _meant_ to lie and say X even though he 
_didn't_ say X. And that lying liar Chomsky probably just does this to make 
me look like a fool or a lunatic when I post that he's lying by saying X, 
and his fans can then lie that he never said X and when I look again, I see 
that he _didn't_ actually say X but not-X. That lying bastard. Whether he 
said X or didn't say X, he damn well _meant_ X and was lying when he meant 
X whether he said X or not-X. That lying liar is always lying and he always 
lies. MORE ON
