Send them a copy of any/all of this manifesto with a cover letter stating the specific questions you demand be answered. Write to your local papers, radio stations, state supreme courts (make them aware of fingerprinting drivers is a violation of the 1974 Privacy Act). Write to all your state representatives.

Salomon legal stated Salomon has a lower obligation for third-party copyrights than they did for software they contracted for themselves, like Sybase.

If a terrorist nuclear bomb ever goes off in this country, it drove in from Mexico. Meanwhile, Los Alamos National Laboratories developed technology that allows an officer walking or driving down the street, as shown on MSNBC TV 6/9/97 www.TheSite.com, to determine whether anyone on the sidewalk is carrying a gun. The priorities are all out of whack. Apply Military technology towards securing the border, not by spending billions and billions and billions each year to secure each and every one of us. We don't put governing-monitors on all car engines to control speeding. Get an Operations Research clue. Is our government perpetuating the availability of drugs?
