Hi Jamie,

Then you better be prepared to move to somewhere in the third world.  Most
of the first world nations are joining in this one.  At first, I thought it
meant a trade block, so that countries within the block could trade in
encryption but not to countries outside of it.  This is just another example
of politicians trying to fix a problem by hitting it with the biggest hammer
they can find.

Excluded in this is measure are things like music and video technologies to
prevent copying.  I hope you enjoyed your freedom in the past, it is a lost
commodity in the future.

Sean
