TCPA and the War effort

[Christopher Wagner]

I agree, and if such a unjust law were passed, I would defy it.  I was
speaking hypothetically in my statement.

We do need to stand up for our rights.  If we don't, who will?

If anyone's thinking "oh, someone else will take care of it" or "enough
people will object that my support isn't needed" that's the trap they want
you to fall for.  We need to fight, email your political representatives,
email the president, sign petitions, etc..  http://wwww.eff.org/ has some
excellent resources on their website, included information about TIA, which
appears to be yet another attempt at comprehensive surveillance on the
general public.

Thanks for listening. :)

Although I share the same sentiment about trusting the US, I would not let a
law stand in my way from computing.
You have a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws.
Run "illegal" hardware.

Better still help fight this before it becomes something where such drastic
measures need to be taken.
