The most grating part of it is that I'll bet the assholes from UCLA Primate Freedom who posted his picture and contact info think they can wash their hands of the inevitable results of their propagandizing.
I just visited the UCLA Primate Freedom's website, they did not even mention the fact that the professor got death threats and attacks against his family and coworkers.

Interesting article, the U.S. government also played a major role during the Clinton Administration.
I jumped ship just recently on my home PC. I got tired of dealing with the problems. I chose Fedora Core 5 and love it. I just got tired of dealing with all of the problems, and I highly doubt that I will switch back to MS ever again. Sorry MS, you just lost another customer (on second thought, I'm not sorry).
There's a reason people are suing everybody, there's a reason tobacco companies have been losing so much money in courts; we're like a cuontry of 8 year olds, always pointing at somebody else in the back of class that through the paper airplane.
I'm also sick and tired of the ol' nanny state. I'm afraid that the next generation will be the same way becuase some might think that this type of behavior is acceptable.
You're amazed? Well the a lot of governments are buying information to get around the legal issues. The government is trying to prevent people from living anonymously. The government has become concern that they can't keep track of citizens. Governments have been doing this for years. Do you really think that national ID laws are their to protect us from terrorism? That's mybe part of the reason, but I think that the major reason is so you can be easily found if you owe backed taxes, a suspect in a crime, owe any outstanding debts to private companies, etc.
To put it simply, the government (and not just the U.S. government)wants to know where you live in case that need to find you for any reason. Do people have or should have the right to live anonymously? I say yes but I'm sure there are a lot of people who would disagree.
