    In these times, I can't believe people are saying something called the "Liberty Alliance" is a bad thing. Dear God, you people must all be atheist, Communists. Or maybe Muslim extremists. I will support the good old US of A by letting anyone and everyone associated with the Liberty Alliance have all of my personal information. It's the patriotic thing to do!

    Some people are just too cynical...
