Indeed.  And lest the rest of the world think this is two North Americans
"Asia-bashing":  what with the USA Patriot Act, Digital Millennium Copyright
Act, Bush's TIPS program that the former East German Stasi would have loved,
etc., etc., I certainly wouldn't trust the US government to look out for my
interests either!  I'm sure Judyth can point out similar concerns in her own
country.  Her point, I'm sure, and mine, is that *no* government should be
trusted to look after our interests.  We can look to our own interests just
fine, as this organization proves!
