There even exists a _real_ musical language, in which musical patterns represent actual words. This language was developed in the 19th century, by Sudre, and was called Solresol. He even wrote dictionaries and such. It never really cought on.

More info on Solresol

OK, some data from a linguist:

A baby can recognize and process any sound. By the time that baby is 10 months old, they know which sounds matter in their language and which sounds are not a part of their language.

I believe that perfect pitch needs to be learned at a very young age as a linguistic construct; if it is part of a language, the person will have perfect pitch.

If people had to learn learn solresol as a first language, they would definitely have perfect pitch (and probably be excellent musicians).

You Americans get pissed off when terrorists blow your buildings and their occupants to bits, and then you get pissed off when your government tries to protect you. You can't have it both ways.

I'm not asking the government to "protect" us, especially not the way they think they should. In fact, the best thing the government can do is to stay out of everyone's way. The government's "protection" just gives the shee^H^H^H^Hpeople a false sense of security.

And no, you can't have a better solution because your politicians are all smarter than you.

Care to back up that statement???

That's why they lead and you follow.

A very common misperception about the USA, among Americans and non-Americans alike. An American Citizen (state Citizen) is a sovereign above the federal government and ruled only by other sovereigns, at least until he or she is duped into claiming to be a "US citizen", a status that did not exist prior to 1868. One claims to be a US citizen via birth certificates, Socialist^H^H^H Security Numbers, 1040 Forms, etc. That does mean that almost everyone there is affected, I admit, but there is a way out.

Reclaim your sovereign status ASAP

"... For while a Citizen has the Right to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, that Right does not extend to the use of the highways, either in whole or in part, as a place for private gain.

In biblical times a slave was sometimes referred to as "marked" on the hand or forehead even though there was rarely an actuall mark. This is (I think) the most widely made mistake on this topic. People are always looking out for some kind of marking device (implanted id, tatoo, etc.) and not realizing that they are already marked by their social security number.

This is, of course, an opinion but if anyone's interested here's a link.

We DO have the RIGHT to TRAVEL.

When you "buy" software, you are actually purchasing the license, aka permission, to use it.
Similiarly, if you have a "driver's license" that means you DO NOT own your car.

> I'm curious, how did you get a job without telling your employer your Social security number?

I asked them to show me the law that requires a person to have a SSN. They couldn't show me one, so I never gave one.
Myself, and others work freely without a SSN. Look up the famous Taco-Bell case.

> How did you get a drivers' license?
First off you DON'T need a driver's license to travel. Search for "Right to Travel" on Alta Vista for more info.
Here's one link to get you started:

I use an International Driver's Permit to prevent police harassment.

Thirdly, you DO NOT own your automobile UNLESS you have the "Manufactor's Statement of Origin."

I travel all the time without my car being registered by the government, without a driver's license, and have never been given a ticket "for driving without a license"

> How did you get your credit cards?
I work for an offshore company which provided a company credit card.

> How do you pay your phone bill?
Like everyone else does. Personally I use cash.
They asked for a SSN too, and I refused to give them one.

It CAN be done. DO NOT volunteer information. It is your right to refuse giving out personal information.

Cheers

> If you drive a car, you enter into a contract that you agree to provide blood, urine or breath to test for the presence of alcohol.

_ONLY_ if you have a driver's license and the government owns your "vehicle" via the Manafactor's Statement of Origin.

And yes you can travel without a driver's license !

I don't have one, and have never been given a ticket for "driving without a license"

It's best to do your own research. Search for "Right To Travel"

I've provided 2 links to get you started.

John,

Although I am no lawyer either, there are plenty of people who seem to agree with my point. Check out the following URL's which say that so long as I am not being paid and I am not working outside of my job description and what I do isn't done with malice or with the intent to harm, then I cannot be held liable. This comes from the Federal Volunteer Protection Act signed by President Clinton in 1997. Here are some URLs to info:
