Look, when they stopped Ken Thompson and Belle from heading to Mother Russia back a couple decades ago on the grounds that Belle's technology could hurt someone, I'll believe that an instruction won't be implemented because the U.S. government is such a paranoid entity that it must have boogeyman around which to rally the populace for some disturbed politician to misdirect us away from the true sufferers, our own people in the city, in the bayou, in the ghetto, in the barrio. So when Ken Thompson replies to the U.S. Government, "Sure, Belle could hurt someone, if you dropped it out of the plane on them." I applaud his commentary and recommend you all to take a good hard look at your government and whom you elect (not that you have much choice now given that the machines themselves are rigged and controlled by GOP-sympathizers who are ex-felons who are not allowed to vote (yet control the vote.) It was obvious in 2000 and 2004 and many universities have tabulated the odds of the exit poll so dramatically differing from the final tally at extremely unlikely. There goes the democracy and republic "my fellow Americans". Stop Imperialism now! Off my stump, Stuart Cracraft P.S. Moderator feel free to delete this political commentary.
