How much can we trust the government ? Or, rather, how much can we trust the people (as in "down to the last one") that work on/for the government ? Are 100% of the government employees trusthworthy ? Are you really willing to give everyone there (again: the employees) a 'carte blanch' to get and maybe use your information ? Again: even if you think the government is legit, and has real reasons to do it, are you sure you can trust everyone that has access to the information ? On a more philosofical note, how much can you trust someone who distrust everyone else ? - -- Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob@...spammers.org> "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDsqINpdyWzQ5b5ckRArXPAKCOHEHosaLNaBlOLOE0H7dMxivd4QCglNur vkLFgOCCwyzryD3qmOv9Gbs= =KQ8D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
