Stay out of the Gay nightclubs ;) The scenario you mention is faulty. Why do you believe the government would extort people to tesitfy? They don't need any new information or technology to do that. They just don't do it. That is not to say that individuals aren't given options in plea arrangments predicated upon their testimony. There isn't a problem with that. Maybe I misunderstood your post, but if you believe the government would threaten to expose gay activity for testimony in a crime, you are way off base. If the person has knowledge of the crime, that is enough to compel testimony. Don't fall into the rankis of Duray and AS

Well it is happening under Bush. He has led us into a sorry state where religious intolerance and incredibly powerful central government is combining to create a nation that is a far cry from an open democracy..
