    Oof! Over 40 years ago... Even the threat of prison doesn't stop these guys. And the ones that appoint them still win elections and reelection. I figure that if the voters thought this was important, they would actually do something. Who am I to argue with success?

    In this case "circumstantial" is all you need, especially when based on past performance. When they swim in abuse, they no longer consider as such. They release this stuff because it is obsolete and vulnerable to detection, like Tor. In other words, they won't blend into the WAN.

    And, the summary also proves a point I've been making for a long time, that even semi effective encryption is not available to the public. It is just not there, and the issue is being attacked from wrong angle entirely anyway.

    And why are allowing them to patent this?

    "evidence" is too easy to falsify. Eye witnesses are provably unreliable. You use statistics to determine guilt or innocence. You construct guilt out of suspicion, often politically, usually economically motivated. All this is might makes right, not by defect, but by design.

    No, that's a silly example and makes no sense at all. You don't have the right to physically assault people.

    No, they only exist while there is somebody (that's you and me by the way) to enforce them, otherwise they are no better than notes scribbled on an old napkin. Let's call them "essential freedoms", ones that we essentially don't have at this time.

    This is why contempt of court must be sanctified. Nobody has any right to compel anybody to do anything at all, ever. They only have the gun. That usually works. Might makes right. It's that simple.

    You don't need to "prove your innocence", dummy.

    If I have to show up, that means I do. So, fuck that. But then again, I know that resisting will get me tagged as a terrorist. But if we're going to talk about "rights", then I have mine to ignore anybody, without consequence. Unjust regulations are completely contemptible. The fascist public disagrees, I can do nothing about that without the ability to neutralize their weapons. So, I accept we live in a *might makes right* world. That's the end of it.

    No court has the right to compel me to come and prove my innocence. One that does deserves nothing but contempt. They are reversing the burden of proof. Granted they can do that, because they say they can, and they have guns to back it up. That is nothing but *might makes right*, the rule of man. My contempt for them knows no bounds.

    We made a relatively early decision in this country that debt slavery isn't acceptable, nor are debtors' prisons.

    You, sir/ma'am, rely too much on mass media propaganda. It is unnecessary and disingenuous to distinguish "left" and "right" in matters of authoritarianism. Both are used as pretexts to justify the abuse of power, but in and of themselves they are nothing but distractions. Get your head out of the TV and observe the birds and the bees if you want to see what binds and animates life on earth.

    Exactly, they could have voted them out, but most people are pretty authoritarian themselves, and it's easy to scare them into thinking this a good thing. The country's not doing so badly, this won't affect the elections or anything. In fact the whole world is going more right wing, so we can only expect worse.

    Let's stop the charade please. ALL large companies have "government organization relationship", throughout the world. Some relationships are a little closer than others, but far more often than not, the people intermingle making deals and making babies like anywhere else. To claim that this one is somehow different is specious, at best. Business and government are a single entity. Plain old money is its blood, actually our blood is its real currency, just like the Aztecs. Save us all the platitudes, and observe nature at work.
