Hello...the data was transferred. Not only was it trasferred and processed by your CPU to get it to display on the screen, it's stored on your hard drive as "temporary Internet files". It is? Then you're saying that ALL the content, from every website I visit is automatically stored permanently on my computer? Lordie, Lordie... no wonder those HDD manufacturers keep increasing their drive capacity.. But maybe, just maybe, I'm a bit smarter about my internet security options and I don't permit certain items to be permanently downloaded to my HDD.. Because I did a search for that link, as as any reference to that report, and it's not on my HDD.. I dread to call on your abilities in logic but reformatting a hard drive is not an approved procedure for declassifying a hard drive. Well, we all know you possess a knack for the obvious.. Did you get that from the NISPOM? The very essence of the statute makes political speach illegal. Hardly.. It's only when such expression of free speech infringes on the rights of others that such limitations come into question. Free speech is not "unlimited" and the Supreme Court has upheld this principle time and time again.. I found this article where an anti-abortion website was ordered to pay $107 million dollars in damages when it's content was deemed to incite violence against abortion doctors: idsnews.com Now that's a statement of political speech if I've ever seen one and it utterly refutes your contention that freedom of political speech is absolute. It is only free so long as it doesn't advocate infringing the rights of others to exercise their own personal rights, or to cause harm to them. Hawk
