please, will people stop sending me responses like the above? do you
understand how the American legal system works? a person cannot
be prosecuted without evidence. evidence cannot be illegally obtained.
a person is not required to testify against oneself. these are all
basic long-established cornerstones of our legal system.

Please, please, when Nuri-logical makes a public post, will people stop =
copying him in their responses? At least, not until you have read about =
the Clipper chip, the V-chip, key escrow, ITAR, the CDA, who those "four =
horsemen" are, etc., and understood how the American legal system works?
Personally, I am really amazed at all the times when people point out =
basic liberties to the NSA or the law enforcement agencies, and somebody =
says, well yes BUT so-and-so hypothetical situation might arise.
Why is there such deep fear about citizens? I'd say that some people =
there are high up on the list of creating a paranoia about life in the =
U.S. today. I t is almost as if some people have a public "prosecute =
you" wish.
