- What a good idea! I'm tired of all this political trash, furthermore
- I'm outside the US and I don't like listening all the time to the risks
- of using a patented algorithm, to the risks of looking at a patented
- algorithm, to the incredible risks of even messing with a patented algoritmh
- when living in the US. ``Cryptography == Weapon == Illegal'' for some
- people, but I cannot stand this absurdity any more.

- PS:
- The correct equation would be:
-
- ``Cryptography == Privacy == Lack of control by government''
- ==>
- ``Crypto must be declared illegal to discourage its diffusion''
-
- Let's not make things more complicated.
