I feel your pain, William ;-)
I suggest we take this discussion towards a more constructive approach.
Lets just start a country in cypherspace. I'll come up with a nice
serialized certificate of citizenship available in PDF format, suitable
for framing. With your PDF cert comes a client-side certificate and
membership. All this for only $1.
Whats that I hear you say?
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
And that's not all!
All you have to do is volunteer to spam the correct legislators
with pro-crypto lobbying. Enlist to defend cypherspace.
Remember, enlistment guarantees citizenship!
(ahem...now back to your regularly scheduled silliness)
