There is light at the end of the tunnel, let's pray it's not the train

Dude you're doing a helluva job here and steadily converting me (to privacy
issues and the overarching nature of Big Dumb Brother) so its really up to
you what you want to post. Traffic isnt too bad and hopefully it will pick
==========end forwarded excerpt============================
This letter was sent to me in response to my asking if I spammed a firearms-
related list too much with Cypherpunks stuff. I've been converting a lot of
them to the use of PGP and making them aware of the "Statist War Against
Privacy" issues. Somehow, they got the message and are now becoming very
interesting in re-reading CPunks stuff. Don't delude yourself (this is for TM
who probably killfiled me anyway), most of them won't subscribe to CPs so I'd
rather spam them with CP stuff than let them go their ignorant way.
[BTW, TM, the list I spam is owned by ME! HA! :-) ]
The following post is to illustrate that discontent is mounting all over the
place over all sorts of issues. Thanks to the net, it becomes very
contagious. :-)

Press Release 25th August
From: Organiser, Smokers of the World Unite
For Immediate release
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH PROTEST MARCH
FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR KITE...
..and those still unable to grasp the thrust behind the Enough is
Enough
March.
"It is about honest people sick of being pushed around by paper
shuffling,
clip board wielding bloody control freaks telling you what you can
eat,
drink, smoke, think, say and wear." growls march organiser Joy
Faulkner. "It
is against the continuous theft of your money through tax and fines by
an
ever-increasing army of callous, overbearing, power-hungry despots. It
is
about freedom of speech, freedom of thought and the freedom to live
your own
life as you choose.
"It's against the hounding of the smoker and the taxpayer to the point
of
suicide. It's about the right to run your business as you see fit
without
constant interference from nanny state. It's about the North Shore
farmer
who turned a bog into a duck pond and was fined $10,000 because he
didn't
'comply' with council edicts. It's about the Waikato restaurateur who
can't
have a sign on her own property stating 'smokers welcome'. It is
against the
growing fascism and bureaucracy-gone-mad that is taking over your
business,
your property, your life."
"When the witch hunters and book burners have already begun banning
magazines and cigar reviews it baffles me why the media need the march
explained to them at all" Joy mused.
The general public understand it; the growing number of lobby groups
and
individuals making contact for information about the march understand
it.
They know when ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
And when they all turn up in Auckland's Beresford Square, midday
September
4th this march will be bigger than Texas.
AND IN THIS WAY MR K. WILL CHALLENGE THE WORLD!!!!
ENDS

"The only power any government has is to crack down on crime and
criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, then one
makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes
impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation
of law-abiding citizens. What's there in that for anyone. But just
pass the kinds of law that can neither be observed nor enforced nor
objectively interpreted and you create a nation of lawbreakers
- and then you can cash in on their guilt."
