    Lets see, 6 years after the Berlin wall comes down - guess they needed to find something for all those unemployed cold war spooks to do.

    I agree. Start with the assumption that you have no rights, and see how great that makes you feel. Then right it down, and put it in a safe. Tell your friends that you've done this, and that they have no rights to it.

    Listen: Without information being free on some level the world see freeze and stop. What would have happened if Henry Ford had not come up with standardized parts. What is the internet was a parented. Things would have happened slower. Much slower. We'd all be paying a high tax for something which would only retard us are a race.

    We have too many problems in this world to solve to bwe tied up in the information sideshow. Information needs to be free, if it can help man, if it can save lives, or any part of our world. That is something no entity has the right to: The restriction of our survival.

    Now, let the sideshow continue.
