<DIV>Tyrants silence dissenters. That is a given. We would be better off trying to cut off the air they breathe than trying to prevent tools they can use to do so. But I really do like your notion that the Internet is a living breathing thing that can do something. Yesterday my coaxial layed itself and my drill put a hole in the wall while my computer educated me. Today my car will drive me around to a house of worhsip that will give me faith. At least most americans will naturally die of their fat rather than their own lifestyles.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Sun, 6/28/09, Jeffrey A. Williams <I><jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></DIV>
