In fact, if you've noticed, other than their moves to end the War on Some Drugs outside the US, the whole English speaking world is getting *really* scary. I lived in CA for a year, came back to the US after it became quite clear to me that civil rights were totally non-existent in CA, and that was 30 years ago. Really good to see what CA is doing on the marijuana issue, but I sure don't see them otherwise looking like a safe place to live or do business. Not that the US is, even remotely. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
