Well, David, I'm glad you feel I have integrity behind my statement, I suppose it comes from a sense, in which I feel that my whole life is a form of protest. As a gay male living in this country, I feel like every moment since I cam out 4 plus years ago has been a protest to get the rights I deserve. I wish that I had the financial capability to stand behind my position here, but I don't at present. But, that doesn't dampen my enthusiasm or the integrity of my statement, it just means that I can't afford to participate in the "system" which we are forced to live in. A system, which I might add, allows my bosses in almost every locality in the United States to fire me and use as a reason, "Well, I don't want any faggots working here." Bleahg. I have too many battles which are so deeply connected to my life to fight, but I see this as a related one, the right to privacy is essential. And by holding a copy of pgp, I can voice my protest. So, now, with all that lifted off my shoulder in an unloading of a year of anger and hostility towards this country, I do feel better. I would however, love to help someone organize a challenge against the munitions act and PKP patent. -Erik
