re - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/3415525.stm All elements are there. Pretty much like situation when segregation in US collapsed. A nonsensical security ritual. Legal framework where few words can set one up for 15 years in prison. Obvious idiocy of it all. And the government's authority is hinged on it. The massive I have a bomb declarations at airport security checks is probably the only thing that can bring down US government today. They can't arrest us all.

So is it prohibited that drug companies are compelled to disclose known side effects of their medications in order to sell them, and treason on the part of FDA employees who enforce that?

Because if watching a whole generation of terrifying death rates among gay men doesn't convince you to take some precautions to avoid getting AIDS, a banner ad on AOL is probably going to do the trick. Compelled speech is prohibited, suggesting it is treason, no matter the reason. Not treason. Not even unconstitutional if they're planning to sue to try to force AOL to put up some condom ads, though I can't see how they'd win in court. Just really stupid policy. --John Kelsey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: FA48 3237 9AD5 30AC EEDD BBC8 2A80 6948 4CAA F259
