Media rumor </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=553491116-27102001>(2)
You have got to be kidding </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Businesses will not let this happen as it will cost them money so the PACs will
go nuts </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=553491116-27102001>(5)
Law enforcement and military makes plans for everything and I mean every crazy
next to impossible scenario. Thinking about something is not
wrong</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Partisan politics will come into play</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Per the following article: <A
href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,37203,00.html">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,37203,00.html</A> it
appears as if the FBI now wants to route ALL Internet traffic through it's
central servers!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What gall!! What nerve!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now, for all of you who said, "Hey, I'm not doing anything
wrong, let the FBI monitor what it wants to." can go shove hot spikes up your
nose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I don't think the FBI really wants to control
the Internet, they want to destabilize it. As tyranny
approaches the only thing more dangerous than an armed populace is an informed
one. If they can monitor all the traffic, they can certainly control
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The ISP's (whatever those are) need to collectively tell the
FBI to go jump off a bridge. Information campaigns need to be sent to
the customers to alert them of the potential loss of civil
liberties.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm gonna stop before I say something that will get me
arrested.</FONT></DIV>
