I don't see the big deal about standardized driver licenses, but as for the Patriot Act, if you think it's a bad thing, you're in the minority. 51% of Americans feel it's a good thing. They re-elected George W. Bush 2004 in a Patriot Act America, and they re-elected their representives in Congress that passed the legislation in the first place. We live in a very conservative America now and that America wants laws like the Patriot Act on the books. It's nothing to do with some nefarious gov't conspiracy to make your life miserable. Remember, it's not the government you need to worry about "trusting to keep your best interests in mind" it's your fellow voter. Regardless, I think this "tin foil hat" pontificating about the NSA putting backdoor holes in SELinux hysterical. I have a hard time believing there are people that suspect this is what's going on. I'm sure the guys involved in coding that backdoor are the ones that helped stage the moon landings, also. Of course, all the NSA guys are laughing at the snow job they've pulled over on me, as well. -- Chris "With the way things are starting to go in this country, if forced to choose between being caught with a van full of pirated DVDs or heroin you'd actually have to pause and think about it." -- Michael Bell, drunkenblog.com -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
