     Mr. Spradlin demonstrates the classical neocon
     pratfall by imagining everyone to bo a criminal
     who wishes to protect their privacy and safe-
     gaurd simple, decent civil liberties. Like the
     ability to move freely about *without* having
     to inform anyone. Least of all the police. And
     the same respect for our privacy must apply to
     the rest of our very private lives.

     The police are absolutely necessary to keep
     the peace and in unusual circumstances. And
     totally unneccesary in our everyday social
     and family life. What does Mr. Spradlin want?
     Should we all have to carry identity cards
     and report to police when/if we move? How about
     arm tattoos of our Social Security Numbers?

     Why is it neoconservatives scream bloody murder
     whenever governments try and control *any* aspect
     of their businesses - and yet are so willing to
     "unleash the police" into the most personal and
     private affairs of free citizens? Maybe because
     they realize that they have to control the people
     and our behaviour in order to maximize their
     already gross profits. And behaviour modification
     is one of the most effective ways to do just that.

     I find the use of the Internet/Usenet as a huge
     spying tool to be personally and politically
     offensive. I am a law abiding, freedom loving
     citizen and I will not have my employees snooping
     about my private life with my tax dollars. We are
     not criminals. We are their bosses - we pay the
     salaries of the police, FBI, RCMP etc. Time to to
     turn the tables and gain control of what passes for
     government in these challenging times. Peace.
