The Hutu/Tutsi thing in Rwanda didn't happen all that long ago. Also, I believe the Czechoslovak Federal Republic revoked the citizenship of most or all those of "gypsy descent" not too long ago (http://www.law.nyu.edu/eecr/vol7num2/special/denyingcitizenship.html).Another completely legitimate arguement against it...
Spoken like a true gentleman. Now, will you acknowledge that your original statement, that the reason to object to continuous monitoring and tracking is "Only if you want to disappear or do something illegal", is far too simplistic, and ignores unfortunate realities and the weight of history? Governments are not our friends, even if they are All Republican, and headed by a born again. -- Bruce Ediger 720-932-1954 eballen1 () qwest net _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
