This issue requires the attention of everyone who values the freedom we 
have with our beloved Linux.  Regardless of personal politics, we should 
all support whoever is active in the fight against the "Fritz chip" and 
other attemps, laws, etc. that would deprive everyone of personal 
freedoms.  I know that this is not the proper forum to persue this 
fight, but we each need to be actively involved in this struggle.   
Thanks for Bob Barr's stand.
