    A) ditto ; everyone who voted bush in did because they felt the statisfaction of knowing they have nothing to hide.. or need to hide b)that was the whole point behind the framers creating the constitution... if there is a disturbance in equilibrium it can be accounted for.. as it has been for 200 years.. or should that be only when the democrats are in power.. i guess republicans face the bull by the horns and the democrats are ready to convey that that equilibrium is the problem only when republicans are in power... a balance of power is a balance of power not a negotiation or reason to digress. c)who's hiding from the government...? let me go over some. great books of our time 1984 brave new world farenheight 451 animal farm if you're telling me there is a reason to hide from the government today.... either you flunked 11 and didn't read any of these books... or your telling simply>>> you do have something to hide.. its called rhetoric.. i have nothing to hide! bit i don't want to hide.... if you ever read these books you'd know the authors of these books wrote these early 20th century to send a message to the future that living under any government power would be the same means to an end.. according to them all governments would eventually go bad whether democrtic, republican, facsist or kingdom. the point they made though is that only the people who believed in this type of opppression would be affected. what happened? reality! checks and balances and a way to keep an equilibrium in the government..who doesn't agree? you! why? cuase the systems unfair! if you read in between the lines youd see that is exactly what brought around such governments... mistrust in the people who run the country, corruption and people who don't have faith in the consititution as a way of amending itself.. democracy today.. if the laws have to made to constitute for another law the thats what has to be done.. its not about whos corrupting who and whos doing what behind our back... if you had any real notion of how the government works youd know : the bill didn't pass because it has to go through a series of votes by each committee and that sooner or later it will be reintroduced in a more contextual version of the exact same measures not because it doesn't work... we don't have idiots running the country.. democrats have been to used to way too much freedom and liberalism starting in the sixties and now they regret.. face it! this isn't about hiding its regret.!

[slashdot.org]. in reality unix and government go way back... and the real cliche you want to know about is "which governemnt", the same government you put down ten threads ago as being a threat to open source policy (SElinux) and definitely the one you've attempted to summarize as a threat to its own country... when the framers put together the consititution they had intended for a balance of power in all areas of government.... and this includes democrats and republicans. the fact that republicans are in power and the democrats aren't is not what is constituted as important.. its what the people want.. that what you want to talk about.. because theres a shift in power going on in favor of the republicans its because a) the people choose so : not the media, not the rich or the corrupt... b) because they manage to do a better job of handling homeland and international affairs with a little more dignity and gaunt. so if anyones making a cliche these days it is just who "all these whining democrats that can't handle any real constitutional measures taken to effectively promote the US rather than promote liberalism and liberal gibberish of a free world.. the only real way to achieve a free world is through hard work and face it the democrats don't want to have to deal with half the third world up in arms and find a solution they'd rather be pointing fingers (as stated) at who us! and talk about preserving the environment.. what environment are they talking about when the koreans are back in the arms race, the iranians are trying to get in, and the joke of 'em all saddam hussain who according to democrats and only democrats had no weapons of mass destruction, but 20yrs ago did! according to iraqi intelligence they do! and according to every voter who voted bush they do! so what are we supposed to do with the environment?? since you, i and everyone knows including the democrats that the environment and freedom is all that democrats want to talk about anyway... get real! likewise!!

    from what i understood reading an article on SElinux last year: its origins go back quite far infact they seem to be speculated as lost in some red tape... as to connections to AT&T labs. the intentions where to create a security system specifically designed for intranet and networking specifics and where tested in university networks and government based internet projects way back when.. according to sources who have taken interest in this type of security and are spent on introducing it to the open source community, unix users globally and new coorporate sectors who have migrated to unix.. its basic function at this current time is based on security in networking environments that are too large for base unix security. as basic security for smaller systems it is still not convincing and to tell the truth in situations where smaller systems are able to secure themselves unix based security is probably still the answer.
