Well Ray, sometimes you have to bribe a Nazi official in the dead of night to make an escape. When the hounds are baying for your blood, you do what you have to to escape. In a system of law, it's as well to comply with the laws or they set the dogs on you when they catch you. So, they get the law changed. It's a democracy. If the mob doesn't like it, they can vote those who passed the laws out of office and change the laws to what they like. The USA has got the best politicians money can buy. So I wouldn't pretend that the outcome is anything to do with ethics or morals. But freedom is quite an imperative and freedom includes continued ownership of what a person produces. Democracy is about mob rule by the proletariat, which is obviously nothing to do with ethics and morals. Actually, I've logged onto Bermuda [a couple of years ago] with a view to forming a Bermudan company to handle my international affairs. I never got around to it, but I can assure you that cyberspace is playing a very big part in the productivity of millions of people around the world and indirectly billions. Mqurice
