soon to be added saying nasty things about MS, not owning a legit licence 
for a MS os and commenting about the rights of the police to monitor civil 
society with such powers.

not only is disent being criminalised but dialing a wrong number, emailing 
to this list (if one of us is a monitored subversive - possible), and 
whatever you do don't browse this site ;-)

know your data? - knowing your enemy has never been easier.

"Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll RIP the BILL, RIP the ACT, RIP the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy"  RATM - Know you enemy (paraphrased to make the message 
even clearer)

When does big brother start? not next week but when we allowed ourselves to 
be legally snooped upon by anyone with the money to buy off the law 
enforcement agencies.
