They are the       peons, and we are the rulers -- not the reverse. They have no right       to know ANYTHING about our transactions.              We, on the other hand, have the absolute right to know everything       about theirs, and restrict them if we so choose.              A whole new mindset, of unalterable and immovable steel and will, is       needed.              I doubt, however, that a generation of cowed and bowed dependents       and yes-men can produce such a thing.                            With every good wish,                            Kevin Alfred Strom.       --       http://nationalvanguard.org/       http://kevinalfredstrom.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
