The principle is, without anonymous speech, we have no true freedom of speech. Just as, without toll-free and anonymous travel, we have no true freedom of movement throughout our states/jurisdictions. So we have laws purportedly protecting a journalist's sources, in some countries, but with wikileaks we see leaks the likes of which we could barely imagine in the past. Wikileaks, on the backbone of tor, industrialized anonymous speech. What a wonderful thing. Something humorous, poking fun at ourselves and/ or how we "freedom advocates" take principles to heart so vehemently, might be a little bit of reverse-psychology. To be blunt, since I can't think of something subtle right now: freedom haters network Which is funny because it is actually 'freedom lovers network', but that's so bleh, so 'embrace your inner child and sing kumbaya to heal the world with flowers'. Now, the Freedom Hater's Network, that's a bit too blunt, but at least tolerable to neo-cons. It's sarcastic. And we can look at it as "the network you should use when you are confronted by those who hate freedom", in other words, it's not "freedom hater's network" but the "freedom haters network". I think we ought be able to come up with something more subtle, this is just an example of the thinking process. But I dunno, whatever works. * shut off network * closed forever network * unusable net * never used/ unused network * stuck net * freedom bog net Good luck, Zenaan -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
