I saw a lot of mails flying around today--now I know why (finally had a
chance to read them).

What are they trying to pull?  That is my question.  Scandinavia is looking

today our government would preach to the chinese for
such a barbaric proposal while passing legislation
requiring the manufacturers of paper and pens to tag
and trace both. (or dictate how to manufacture the

"them" or some secret evil which "they" cannot
disclose to "us" for fear of "them"!
