That is a great paper! Also, as a Liberatarian I must applaud your
efforts. I don't trust any government that thinks it has to read
everything you write. I also feel that "Trusted Third Parties" don't
exist beyond close personal friends. Even if we do trust the government
today, we may not tomorrow and even if we trust the government in
general we can never be assured that all members of the government
can be trusted.

Beyond all of the privacy stuff is the issue of network connections
that are secure from hackers. Cryptography is a very important part
of this and if the Clinton/Gore crew get their way the US will have
largely insecure networks.

Great work!

P.S. Did anyone else notice all the people in the Clinton administration
that announced their resignation about as soon as Clinton was re-elected? ;-)
