About the suicide, I'm a bit more cynical with that - I think maybe that was a PR move to invoke sympathy - they think it terms of snake hisses, so I don't think of them in the same way as normal people. Of course, maybe it was real.

I agree about everything else - especially democracy, which is largely a famework that leads to psychopaths being in control.

they really want those biometics of course - they have largely taken everything else, so they want that as well - its amazing that you are going to need a driver's licence to check your email or work on that book you were working on - at the OS level is incredible. How they can even make an argument for that - is amazing. Its a passport for turning your computer on - not even connecting to the net. To turn it on you need t verify who you are - its always that line creep - always. It started way over in the hills somewhere with you have to wear a seat-belt. Now they read your mail and you can't check it without a driver's licence.

thanks!
