First - as the founder of the Church of Reality and a former employee of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (sys admin - not lawyer) I and a fierce defender of free speech and due process, keeping the hands of governments off the Internet. The Internet is actually considered a holy object in the Church of Reality as it is the central factor driving human evolution allowing us to evolve into something that increases our chances of long term survival, so we can continue to exist. If you fail to continue to exist then you are no longer part of reality.</blockquote>
