I'm sure that gun owning by and of itself was not a central issue to "American Beauty". However, like a lot of what we see in the media nowadays, gun owners more and more often are not portrayed as "normal" or "respectable." Hollywood and the six o'clock news cannot and will not portray firearms usage in a positive light. Some months ago, Scientific American had an article written about PGP and in it the author made a statement lamenting the fact that the government is attempting to crack down on a technology simply because a few people choose to do wrong with it. Does this sound vaguely familiar? Anyway, my point was, and is, freedom is freedom and it's precious. We're letting it slip through our fingers. And if you think that protecting PGP, Linux, Apache and other s/w is the whole picture, then you're wrong. Sorry, there's more L'd like to say, but it's time to go to work. :) Tim
