    Congratulations to Prof. Lessig & Co. for this outstanding rebuttal. It did a powerful job countering the governments argument of "hey, we do this all the time" (which of course IS the problem).

    Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. - Isaac Asimov
