This gun-control propaganda is out of date. The US Dept.
of Justice and the 5th Circuit court of appeals have now
ruled that the 2nd Amendment does protect an individual right.
Some other courts, such as the 9th Circuit have reached
another conclusion. The issue will probably get to the
US Supreme Court, and I am sure the NRA will argue that
the 2nd Amendment protects an individual right. Regardless,
you can read the cases and law review articles here, and
form your own opinion:

Someone who worked with American, German, and Japanese managers on a project explained this to me as Hamburger Theory. The American managers subscribed to a style of surrounding all criticism with positive remarks, like a hamburger is surrounded by bread. The German comments were all meat. The Japanese were all bread.
Aha, RMS is the source of your confusion. RMS has his own personal reasons for hating Palladium. There is a long list of things that he hates. There is nothing in Palladium to keep Africans from using computers. It sounds like you are against any new technology because it might potentially add expense or be misused.
Palladium is not a scheme for Microsoft to archive your crypto keys. Your crypto keys will on your motherboard where only you can get them. Microsoft wouldn't want the responsibility of holding keys for people.

Paranoia! Palladium does not stop Africans from using Linux. It would make more sense to complain about Rambus making computers more expensive.
