In <CnxEJu.4LJ@reptiles.org> jim@reptiles.org (Jim Mercer) writes: >(but then sneaking a copy onto the NSA's machines would be poetic-justice). Jim, I am stunned. I stopped replying to your posts when I realized that our disagreement is not over this issue but over political philosophies generally. You trust your Governemnt to control speech responsibly, I do not trust any Government, mine even less than yours, to do this. End of story, or so I thought, until I see this tag line. You have understood that a section of the US Government does not want the best for its citizens, and that despite the NSA's mandate to impoverish our lives, you can see what a good idea it would be to ignore minor issues of national borders in favor of a larger poetic justice. You have exactly grasped our position on the ban. -- Clay Shirky
