Since in Switzerland everything is put to a vote - a bit like in the IETF - and everybody goes to the army, they have not been to war for well over 100 years. Giving responsibility of your freedom to someone else is already giving up freedom. Furthermore the whole can only be secure if everyone participates in its security. So I am advocating a hippie army of happy hackers here :-) Henry > > -- > Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ > Developer Relations, Opera Software > Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
