Pulling out the chair
Beneath your mind
And watching you fall upon God --

What else is there
For Hafiz to do
That is any fun in this world!

JPFO - Introducing: The Freedom Pledge - a new pledge to be used in conjunction with, or in place of, the Pledge of Allegiance: [jpfo]

I pledge my honor to the Bill of Rights, our precious national treasure.

As the Bill is a fortress against tyranny, I will battle all tyrants.

As the Bill protects liberty, I will live free.

As the Bill guards rights born within all humanity, I will defend the freedoms of future generations.

With my life, my words, and my daily deeds, with a vision of what can be, I honor all of the Bill of Rights for all mankind.

The Freedom Pledge was created by Aaron Zelman and Claire Wolfe for Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. To learn more about how you can defend the Bill of Rights, go to http://www.jpfo.org.

Louis Wein for Governor - Right to Keep Bear Arms - Mr. Wein is attempting to replace King George Pataki as the republican candidate for governor of New York. This page is his answers to the S.C.O.P.E. RKBA questionaire. His answers here are very good. Missing from the questionaire were the following questions:

  • Should New York's Sullivan Act should be repealed? (the Sullivan act requires pistol owners to be licensed and pistols to be registered).
  • Should New York institute Vermont Carry? (no license of any kind required to carry a handgun, openly or concealed).
As L. Neil has eloquently written, any candidate who doesn't answer both questions with a resounding "YES" isn't your friend, no matter what else he says.

Declan McCullagh at Politech - NAI was pursuing PGP copyright violations; Radiusnet replies - It appears that Radiusnet was posting the commercial version of PGP, not the freeware. Hence, Network Associates was well within their rights to demand removal. [zem]
