   Hey, but isn't that somehow 'progress'? After all, it's more 'convenient',   
   'efficient', etc. to let computers generate 'votes' and 'money', Precisely   
   the Very Same Principle behind 'bands' using 'tracks' to generate   
   'musicians', only these are vote 'tracks', and money 'tracks' ;)   
   Yeah, there are some who are afraid of change, aren't there? ;)   
   And of course, PERSONAL Freedom, Liberty, Independence, and Sovereignty,   
   have been considered 'old  fashioned' for far too long now...along with this   
   Country's Founders being regarded as 'doddering old men'.   
   So What's supposed to be so bad about being opposed to and even resisting   
   change?   
   I say, Long live those 'Purist' 'Luddites'!!!   
   How about you?

   They're SPYING all the time, so they're more than used to it, which must   
   mean that it's Something Particular that's cause for their worry.

   Sure it is, but the Real Danger is that not everyone is for the truth!!!

   My reply is; either Learn to handle the truth or be handled by the truth!!!
