re once tapped your code is no good any more in article apr rick dgbt doc ca jhan debra dgbt doc ca jerry han writes in article bontchev fbihh as one of the happily sleeping people i would just like to ask this aren t people just slightly overreacting to this or are we all of a sudden going to draw parallels to nazi germany and communist russia yes reasonable parallels though i don t think russia ever claimed to be communist the point of the matter is that yes this is a serious problem but it is not the end of the world guess what we re doing something now you can t do in a communist country or nazi germany we re complaining about i must protest your in a communist country how do you know there haven t been any and are unlikely to ever be any in some socialist dictatorships you can t whilst in some socialist democracies such as france or australia you can of course some people may disagree about france australia being socialist it or rather you re complaining about it and nobody is shooting at us yet or rather if they re shooting at me they have real bad aim guess what people you live in one of the few countries in the world where a person can complain without getting shot at in some circumstances i was at a public meeting last night in the usa where a protester who was very nice and calm and just said before the speaker started to beware of his opinions was forced out of the meeting by two armed policemen there are a lot of things that one cannot do in the usa you may not notice them but as an australian visitor i notice them people are always complaining that somebody did this wrong or somebody did that wrong or whatever sit down and figure out two things what have they done right how much worse can it get and you ll find that you and i are pretty damn lucky yes we are lucky at the moment i hope that is still true in a few years time because it didn t just happen it required concious effort so let s talk about it get some action going decide what s going on but let s not overreact of course don t over react but don t under react andrew disclaimer all my opinions are my own and do not represent the society for the conservation of momentum or any other group i hope i don t lose my student visa as a result of these opinions andrew conway arc leland stanford edu phone usa
