 Next wime read that Acceptable Use
 Policy (AUP) on your ISP. Inevitably
 it contains the Allisat Clause...
 which says failing all else these are
 our machines and we can do anything
 we damn well like with them. Go ahead,
 look, read and tell me I'm wrong.
 Carte blanche is what the AUP equals.
 And we, the citizans, are the ones
 who suffer. Arbitrary incursion into
 our private and business lives. Period.
