If you don't like it, contact the ACLU, I'm sure they'll be moving =
quickly for a constitutionality challenge.

  Subject: FBI is at it again


  Per the following article: =
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,37203,00.html it appears as if the =
FBI now wants to route ALL Internet traffic through it's central =
servers!!!!

  What gall!! What nerve!!!!

  Now, for all of you who said, "Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong, let =
the FBI monitor what it wants to." can go shove hot spikes up your nose.

  I don't think the FBI really wants to control the Internet, they want =
to destabilize it.  As tyranny approaches the only thing more dangerous =
than an armed populace is an informed one.  If they can monitor all the =
traffic, they can certainly control it.

  The ISP's (whatever those are) need to collectively tell the FBI to go =
jump off a bridge.  Information campaigns need to be sent to the =
customers to alert them of the potential loss of civil liberties.

  I'm gonna stop before I say something that will get me arrested.

  Regards,

  Larry Diffey
