    Interesting.....

    Someone STILL believes we live in a democracy. Dispite that fact that in recent years it has made apparent that votes in this country are used in the same way TV ratings polls are, little more.

    You have no say, and neither do I. All you and I are allowed to do it pick which of two people we want to have that say in a public forum. As for what they say, we have no input. So stop kidding yourself.

    In terms of your not wanting to be monitored, well it comes down to this. How are you going to stop it? Really? Will you draw your handgun/hunting rifle and single handedly take on countless armed people with support vehicles like helicopters who know exactly where you are, when you run, and what direction you are headed?

    Get a clue the battle for personal freedom is over, has been for a few decades now, and personal freedom lost.

    What's that? Universally readable data? But, but, what about DRM?

    Universally readable AND free. What will those criminal open source people think of next?

    Power to the people, and may the Source be with us!
