coming to call one evening very late? Don't trust the notion of civil
disobedience, or the Freedom of Speech? Liberties are not protected by
sneaking around and trying to hide from the government, which isn't that
easily foiled anyway. Or, at least not in a society in the state ours is in.
Not that they can stop us if we're determined anyway. In fact, people should
be glad that certain folks were willing to put their ass on the line to
preserve the right to say anything. Even something inane, like the Dr.
Brannigan's message. Let's see:
Nobody but you is trying to blame Aztlan as the sole source of the BLT trade,
last time I checked. A certain amount of "research" will show that many of
the "finest" BTL chips are made right here on our precious domestic soil.
It looks to me like you're applying the notion of government "mind control" a
little widely, Doctor; being the voice of doom crying out from the street
corner isn't going to earn you that many points in a venue like this. Let's
wait and see if, within three months, every citizen of the UCAS with a datajack
gets tested by some "reliable test". Highly unlikely, I'd say. On what
grounds could they force the test? Good question. On what budget? Better
question. In other words, the notion is most likely so much hot air. And the
entire military escalation following the theoretical "full discolosure" of the
BTL threat? On what grounds would such a military buildup be based? The only
documented cases of "infection" are among BTL addicts, who are by law partaking
of an illegal and unregulated substance. If you examine the screening
procedures for simsense, you will know that the routines used could not escape
notice. If they could even be effective at those attenuated levels, which
experience in the field leads me to doubt.
You will have to _prove_ UCAS collusion with Interpol, Doctor, rather than make
claims like "doubtless public opinion is being manipulated". As for warning
people of the "EVILS" *muahahahahaaha* of government, you're probably
preaching to the choir where this forum is concerned. However, paranoid
delusions and conspiracy theories do not deserve to be credited by rational
individuals. ]<<<<<
