FROM CROSSBOWS TO CRYPTOGRAPHY: THWARTING THE STATE VIA
|
|||
|
TECHNOLOGY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Given at the Future of Freedom Conference, November 1987
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You know, technology--and particularly computer
|
|||
|
technology--has often gotten a bad rap in Libertarian cir-
|
|||
|
cles. We tend to think of Orwell's 1984, or Terry Gilliam's
|
|||
|
Brazil, or the proximity detectors keeping East Berlin's
|
|||
|
slave/citizens on their own side of the border, or the so-
|
|||
|
phisticated bugging devices Nixon used to harass those on
|
|||
|
his "enemies list." Or, we recognize that for the price of
|
|||
|
a ticket on the Concorde we can fly at twice the speed of
|
|||
|
sound, but only if we first walk thru a magnetometer run by
|
|||
|
a government policeman, and permit him to paw thru our be-
|
|||
|
longings if it beeps.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But I think that mind-set is a mistake. Before there
|
|||
|
were cattle prods, governments tortured their prisoners with
|
|||
|
clubs and rubber hoses. Before there were lasers for
|
|||
|
eavesdropping, governments used binoculars and lip-readers.
|
|||
|
Though government certainly uses technology to oppress, the
|
|||
|
evil lies not in the tools but in the wielder of the tools.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In fact, technology represents one of the most promis-
|
|||
|
ing avenues available for re-capturing our freedoms from
|
|||
|
those who have stolen them. By its very nature, it favors
|
|||
|
the bright (who can put it to use) over the dull (who can-
|
|||
|
not). It favors the adaptable (who are quick to see the
|
|||
|
merit of the new (over the sluggish (who cling to time-
|
|||
|
tested ways). And what two better words are there to de-
|
|||
|
scribe government bureaucracy than "dull" and "sluggish"?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One of the clearest, classic triumphs of technology
|
|||
|
over tyranny I see is the invention of the man-portable
|
|||
|
crossbow. With it, an untrained peasant could now reliably
|
|||
|
and lethally engage a target out to fifty meters--even if
|
|||
|
that target were a mounted, chain-mailed knight. (Unlike
|
|||
|
the longbow, which, admittedly was more powerful, and could
|
|||
|
get off more shots per unit time, the crossbow required no
|
|||
|
formal training to utilize. Whereas the longbow required
|
|||
|
elaborate visual, tactile and kinesthetic coordination to
|
|||
|
achieve any degree of accuracy, the wielder of a crossbow
|
|||
|
could simply put the weapon to his shoulder, sight along the
|
|||
|
arrow itself, and be reasonably assured of hitting his tar-
|
|||
|
get.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Moreover, since just about the only mounted knights
|
|||
|
likely to visit your average peasant would be government
|
|||
|
soldiers and tax collectors, the utility of the device was
|
|||
|
plain: With it, the common rabble could defend themselves
|
|||
|
not only against one another, but against their governmental
|
|||
|
masters. It was the medieval equivalent of the armor-
|
|||
|
piercing bullet, and, consequently, kings and priests (the
|
|||
|
medieval equivalent of a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
|
|||
|
Crossbows) threatened death and excommunication, respec-
|
|||
|
tively, for its unlawful possession.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Looking at later developments, we see how technology
|
|||
|
like the firearm--particularly the repeating rifle and the
|
|||
|
handgun, later followed by the Gatling gun and more advanced
|
|||
|
machine guns--radically altered the balance of interpersonal
|
|||
|
and inter-group power. Not without reason was the Colt .45
|
|||
|
called "the equalizer." A frail dance-hall hostess with one
|
|||
|
in her possession was now fully able to protect herself
|
|||
|
against the brawniest roughneck in any saloon. Advertise-
|
|||
|
ments for the period also reflect the merchandising of the
|
|||
|
repeating cartridge rifle by declaring that "a man on
|
|||
|
horseback, armed with one of these rifles, simply cannot be
|
|||
|
captured." And, as long as his captors were relying upon
|
|||
|
flintlocks or single-shot rifles, the quote is doubtless a
|
|||
|
true one.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Updating now to the present, the public-key cipher
|
|||
|
(with a personal computer to run it) represents an equiv-
|
|||
|
alent quantum leap--in a defensive weapon. Not only can
|
|||
|
such a technique be used to protect sensitive data in one's
|
|||
|
own possession, but it can also permit two strangers to ex-
|
|||
|
change information over an insecure communications
|
|||
|
channel--a wiretapped phone line, for example, or
|
|||
|
skywriting, for that matter)--without ever having previously
|
|||
|
met to exchange cipher keys. With a thousand-dollar com-
|
|||
|
puter, you can create a cipher that a multi-megabuck CRAY
|
|||
|
X-MP can't crack in a year. Within a few years, it should
|
|||
|
be economically feasible to similarly encrypt voice communi-
|
|||
|
cations; soon after that, full-color digitized video images.
|
|||
|
Technology will not only have made wiretapping obsolete, it
|
|||
|
will have totally demolished government's control over in-
|
|||
|
formation transfer.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I'd like to take just a moment to sketch the mathemat-
|
|||
|
ics which makes this principle possible. This algorithm is
|
|||
|
called the RSA algorithm, after Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman
|
|||
|
who jointly created it. Its security derives from the fact
|
|||
|
that, if a very large number is the product of two very
|
|||
|
large primes, then it is extremely difficult to obtain the
|
|||
|
two prime factors from analysis of their product. "Ex-
|
|||
|
tremely" in the sense that if primes p and q have 100
|
|||
|
digits apiece, then their 200-digit product cannot in gen-
|
|||
|
eral be factored in less than 100 years by the most powerful
|
|||
|
computer now in existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The "public" part of the key consists of (1) the prod-
|
|||
|
uct pq of the two large primes p and q, and (2) one fac-
|
|||
|
tor, call it x , of the product xy where xy = {(p-1) *
|
|||
|
(q-1) + 1}. The "private" part of the key consists of the
|
|||
|
other factor y.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Each block of the text to be encrypted is first turned
|
|||
|
into an integer--either by using ASCII, or even a simple
|
|||
|
A=01, B=02, C=03, ... , Z=26 representation. This integer
|
|||
|
is then raised to the power x (modulo pq) and the resulting
|
|||
|
integer is then sent as the encrypted message. The receiver
|
|||
|
decrypts by taking this integer to the (secret) power y
|
|||
|
(modulo pq). It can be shown that this process will always
|
|||
|
yield the original number started with.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What makes this a groundbreaking development, and why
|
|||
|
it is called "public-key" cryptography," is that I can
|
|||
|
openly publish the product pq and the number x , while
|
|||
|
keeping secret the number y --so that anyone can send me
|
|||
|
an encrypted message, namely
|
|||
|
x
|
|||
|
a (mod pq) ,
|
|||
|
but only I can recover the original message a , by taking
|
|||
|
what they send, raising it to the power y and taking the
|
|||
|
result (mod pq). The risky step (meeting to exchange cipher
|
|||
|
keys) has been eliminated. So people who may not even trust
|
|||
|
each other enough to want to meet, may still reliably ex-
|
|||
|
change encrypted messages--each party having selected and
|
|||
|
disseminated his own pq and his x , while maintaining
|
|||
|
the secrecy of his own y.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Another benefit of this scheme is the notion of a "dig-
|
|||
|
ital signature," to enable one to authenticate the source of
|
|||
|
a given message. Normally, if I want to send you a message,
|
|||
|
I raise my plaintext a to your x and take the result (mod
|
|||
|
your pq) and send that.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
However, if in my message, I take the plaintext a and
|
|||
|
raise it to my (secret) power y , take the result (mod my
|
|||
|
pq), then raise that result to your x (mod your pq) and
|
|||
|
send this, then even after you have normally "decrypted" the
|
|||
|
message, it will still look like garbage. However, if you
|
|||
|
then raise it to my public power x , and take the result
|
|||
|
(mod my public pq ), so you will not only recover the ori-
|
|||
|
ginal plaintext message, but you will know that no one but I
|
|||
|
could have sent it to you (since no one else knows my secret
|
|||
|
y).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And these are the very concerns by the way that are to-
|
|||
|
day tormenting the Soviet Union about the whole question of
|
|||
|
personal computers. On the one hand, they recognize that
|
|||
|
American schoolchildren are right now growing up with com-
|
|||
|
puters as commonplace as sliderules used to be--more so, in
|
|||
|
fact, because there are things computers can do which will
|
|||
|
interest (and instruct) 3- and 4-year-olds. And it is pre-
|
|||
|
cisely these students who one generation hence will be going
|
|||
|
head-to-head against their Soviet counterparts. For the
|
|||
|
Soviets to hold back might be a suicidal as continuing to
|
|||
|
teach swordsmanship while your adversaries are learning
|
|||
|
ballistics. On the other hand, whatever else a personal
|
|||
|
computer may be, it is also an exquisitely efficient copying
|
|||
|
machine--a floppy disk will hold upwards of 50,000 words of
|
|||
|
text, and can be copied in a couple of minutes. If this
|
|||
|
weren't threatening enough, the computer that performs the
|
|||
|
copy can also encrypt the data in a fashion that is all but
|
|||
|
unbreakable. Remember that in Soviet society publicly ac-
|
|||
|
cessible Xerox machines are unknown. (The relatively few
|
|||
|
copying machines in existence are controlled more inten-
|
|||
|
sively than machine guns are in the United States.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now the "conservative" position is that we should not
|
|||
|
sell these computers to the Soviets, because they could use
|
|||
|
them in weapons systems. The "liberal" position is that we
|
|||
|
should sell them, in the interests of mutual trade and
|
|||
|
cooperation--and anyway, if we don't make the sale, there
|
|||
|
will certainly be some other nation willing to.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For my part, I'm ready to suggest that the Libertarian
|
|||
|
position should be to give them to the Soviets for free, and
|
|||
|
if necessary, make them take them . . . and if that doesn't
|
|||
|
work load up an SR-71 Blackbird and air drop them over
|
|||
|
Moscow in the middle of the night. Paid for by private sub-
|
|||
|
scription, of course, not taxation . . . I confess that this
|
|||
|
is not a position that has gained much support among members
|
|||
|
of the conventional left-right political spectrum, but, af-
|
|||
|
ter all, in the words of one of Illuminatus's characters, we
|
|||
|
are political non-Euclideans: The shortest distance to a
|
|||
|
particular goal may not look anything like what most people
|
|||
|
would consider a "straight line." Taking a long enough
|
|||
|
world-view, it is arguable that breaking the Soviet govern-
|
|||
|
ment monopoly on information transfer could better lead to
|
|||
|
the enfeeblement and, indeed, to the ultimate dissolution of
|
|||
|
the Soviet empire than would the production of another dozen
|
|||
|
missiles aimed at Moscow.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But there's the rub: A "long enough" world view does
|
|||
|
suggest that the evil, the oppressive, the coercive and the
|
|||
|
simply stupid will "get what they deserve," but what's not
|
|||
|
immediately clear is how the rest of us can escape being
|
|||
|
killed, enslaved, or pauperized in the process.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When the liberals and other collectivists began to at-
|
|||
|
tack freedom, they possessed a reasonably stable, healthy,
|
|||
|
functioning economy, and almost unlimited time to proceed to
|
|||
|
hamstring and dismantle it. A policy of political
|
|||
|
gradualism was at least conceivable. But now, we have
|
|||
|
patchwork crazy-quilt economy held together by baling wire
|
|||
|
and spit. The state not only taxes us to "feed the poor"
|
|||
|
while also inducing farmers to slaughter milk cows and drive
|
|||
|
up food prices--it then simultaneously turns around and sub-
|
|||
|
sidizes research into agricultural chemicals designed to in-
|
|||
|
crease yields of milk from the cows left alive. Or witness
|
|||
|
the fact that a decline in the price of oil is considered as
|
|||
|
potentially frightening as a comparable increase a few years
|
|||
|
ago. When the price went up, we were told, the economy
|
|||
|
risked collapse for for want of energy. The price increase
|
|||
|
was called the "moral equivalent of war" and the Feds swung
|
|||
|
into action. For the first time in American history, the
|
|||
|
speed at which you drive your car to work in the morning be-
|
|||
|
came an issue of Federal concern. Now, when the price of
|
|||
|
oil drops, again we risk problems, this time because Ameri-
|
|||
|
can oil companies and Third World basket-case nations who
|
|||
|
sell oil may not be able to ever pay their debts to our
|
|||
|
grossly over-extended banks. The suggested panacea is that
|
|||
|
government should now re-raise the oil prices that OPEC has
|
|||
|
lowered, via a new oil tax. Since the government is seeking
|
|||
|
to raise oil prices to about the same extent as OPEC did,
|
|||
|
what can we call this except the "moral equivalent of civil
|
|||
|
war--the government against its own people?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And, classically, in international trade, can you imag-
|
|||
|
ine any entity in the world except a government going to
|
|||
|
court claiming that a vendor was selling it goods too
|
|||
|
cheaply and demanding not only that that naughty vendor be
|
|||
|
compelled by the court to raise its prices, but also that it
|
|||
|
be punished for the act of lowering them in the first place?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So while the statists could afford to take a couple of
|
|||
|
hundred years to trash our economy and our liberties--we
|
|||
|
certainly cannot count on having an equivalent period of
|
|||
|
stability in which to reclaim them. I contend that there
|
|||
|
exists almost a "black hole" effect in the evolution of
|
|||
|
nation-states just as in the evolution of stars. Once free-
|
|||
|
dom contracts beyond a certain minimum extent, the state
|
|||
|
warps the fabric of the political continuum about itself to
|
|||
|
the degree that subsequent re-emergence of freedom becomes
|
|||
|
all but impossible. A good illustration of this can be seen
|
|||
|
in the area of so-called "welfare" payments. When those who
|
|||
|
sup at the public trough outnumber (and thus outvote) those
|
|||
|
whose taxes must replenish the trough, then what possible
|
|||
|
choice has a democracy but to perpetuate and expand the tak-
|
|||
|
ing from the few for the unearned benefit of the many? Go
|
|||
|
down to the nearest "welfare" office, find just two people
|
|||
|
on the dole . . . and recognize that between them they form
|
|||
|
a voting bloc that can forever outvote you on the question
|
|||
|
of who owns your life--and the fruits of your life's labor.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So essentially those who love liberty need an "edge" of
|
|||
|
some sort if we're ultimately going to prevail. We obvi-
|
|||
|
ously can't use the altruists' "other-directedness" of
|
|||
|
"work, slave, suffer, sacrifice, so that next generation of
|
|||
|
a billion random strangers can live in a better world."
|
|||
|
Recognize that, however immoral such an appeal might be, it
|
|||
|
is nonetheless an extremely powerful one in today's culture.
|
|||
|
If you can convince people to work energetically for a
|
|||
|
"cause," caring only enough for their personal welfare so as
|
|||
|
to remain alive enough and healthy enough to continue
|
|||
|
working--then you have a truly massive reservoir of energy
|
|||
|
to draw from. Equally clearly, this is just the sort of ap-
|
|||
|
peal which tautologically cannot be utilized for egoistic or
|
|||
|
libertarian goals. If I were to stand up before you tonight
|
|||
|
and say something like, "Listen, follow me as I enunciate my
|
|||
|
noble "cause," contribute your money to support the "cause,"
|
|||
|
give up your free time to work for the "cause," strive
|
|||
|
selflessly to bring it about, and then (after you and your
|
|||
|
children are dead) maybe your children's children will actu-
|
|||
|
ally live under egoism"--you'd all think I'd gone mad. And
|
|||
|
of course you'd be right. Because the point I'm trying to
|
|||
|
make is that libertarianism and/or egoism will be spread if,
|
|||
|
when, and as, individual libertarians and/or egoists find it
|
|||
|
profitable and/or enjoyable to do so. And probably only
|
|||
|
then.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While I certainly do not disparage the concept of poli-
|
|||
|
tical action, I don't believe that it is the only, nor even
|
|||
|
necessarily the most cost-effective path toward increasing
|
|||
|
freedom in our time. Consider that, for a fraction of the
|
|||
|
investment in time, money and effort I might expend in try-
|
|||
|
ing to convince the state to abolish wiretapping and all
|
|||
|
forms of censorship--I can teach every libertarian who's in-
|
|||
|
terested how to use cryptography to abolish them
|
|||
|
unilaterally.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There is a maxim--a proverb--generally attributed to
|
|||
|
the Eskimoes, which very likely most Libertarians have al-
|
|||
|
ready heard. And while you likely would not quarrel with
|
|||
|
the saying, you might well feel that you've heard it often
|
|||
|
enough already, and that it has nothing further to teach us,
|
|||
|
and moreover, that maybe you're even tired of hearing it. I
|
|||
|
shall therefore repeat it now:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you give a man a fish, the saying runs, you feed him
|
|||
|
for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, you feed him
|
|||
|
for a lifetime.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Your exposure to the quote was probably in some sort of
|
|||
|
a "workfare" vs. "welfare" context; namely, that if you
|
|||
|
genuinely wish to help someone in need, you should teach him
|
|||
|
how to earn his sustenance, not simply how to beg for it.
|
|||
|
And of course this is true, if only because the next time he
|
|||
|
is hungry, there might not be anybody around willing or even
|
|||
|
able to give him a fish, whereas with the information on how
|
|||
|
to fish, he is completely self sufficient.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But I submit that this exhausts only the first order
|
|||
|
content of the quote, and if there were nothing further to
|
|||
|
glean from it, I would have wasted your time by citing it
|
|||
|
again. After all, it seems to have almost a crypto-altruist
|
|||
|
slant, as though to imply that we should structure our ac-
|
|||
|
tivities so as to maximize the benefits to such hungry
|
|||
|
beggars as we may encounter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But consider:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Suppose this Eskimo doesn't know how to fish, but he
|
|||
|
does know how to hunt walruses. You, on the other hand,
|
|||
|
have often gone hungry while traveling thru walrus country
|
|||
|
because you had no idea how to catch the damn things, and
|
|||
|
they ate most of the fish you could catch. And now suppose
|
|||
|
the two of you decide to exchange information, bartering
|
|||
|
fishing knowledge for hunting knowledge. Well, the first
|
|||
|
thing to observe is that a transaction of this type
|
|||
|
categorically and unambiguously refutes the Marxist premise
|
|||
|
that every trade must have a "winner" and a "loser;" the
|
|||
|
idea that if one person gains, it must necessarily be at the
|
|||
|
"expense" of another person who loses. Clearly, under this
|
|||
|
scenario, such is not the case. Each party has gained some-
|
|||
|
thing he did not have before, and neither has been dimin-
|
|||
|
ished in any way. When it comes to exchange of information
|
|||
|
(rather than material objects) life is no longer a zero-sum
|
|||
|
game. This is an extremely powerful notion. The "law of
|
|||
|
diminishing returns," the "first and second laws of
|
|||
|
thermodynamics"--all those "laws" which constrain our possi-
|
|||
|
bilities in other contexts--no longer bind us! Now that's
|
|||
|
anarchy!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Or consider another possibility: Suppose this hungry
|
|||
|
Eskimo never learned to fish because the ruler of his
|
|||
|
nation-state had decreed fishing illegal. Because fish
|
|||
|
contain dangerous tiny bones, and sometimes sharp spines, he
|
|||
|
tells us, the state has decreed that their consumption--and
|
|||
|
even their possession--are too hazardous to the people's
|
|||
|
health to be permitted . . . even by knowledgeable, willing
|
|||
|
adults. Perhaps it is because citizens' bodies are thought
|
|||
|
to be government property, and therefore it is the function
|
|||
|
of the state to punish those who improperly care for govern-
|
|||
|
ment property. Or perhaps it is because the state gener-
|
|||
|
ously extends to competent adults the "benefits" it provides
|
|||
|
to children and to the mentally ill: namely, a full-time,
|
|||
|
all-pervasive supervisory conservatorship--so that they need
|
|||
|
not trouble themselves with making choices about behavior
|
|||
|
thought physically risky or morally "naughty." But, in any
|
|||
|
case, you stare stupefied, while your Eskimo informant re-
|
|||
|
lates how this law is taken so seriously that a friend of
|
|||
|
his was recently imprisoned for years for the crime of "pos-
|
|||
|
session of nine ounces of trout with intent to distribute."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now you may conclude that a society so grotesquely
|
|||
|
oppressive as to enforce a law of this type is simply an
|
|||
|
affront to the dignity of all human beings. You may go far-
|
|||
|
ther and decide to commit some portion of your discretion-
|
|||
|
ary, recreational time specifically to the task of thwarting
|
|||
|
this tyrant's goal. (Your rationale may be "altruistic" in
|
|||
|
the sense of wanting to liberate the oppressed, or
|
|||
|
"egoistic" in the sense of proving you can outsmart the
|
|||
|
oppressor--or very likely some combination of these or per-
|
|||
|
haps even other motives.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But, since you have zero desire to become a martyr to
|
|||
|
your "cause," you're not about to mount a military campaign,
|
|||
|
or even try to run a boatload of fish through the blockade.
|
|||
|
However, it is here that technology--and in particular in-
|
|||
|
formation technology--can multiply your efficacy literally a
|
|||
|
hundredfold. I say "literally," because for a fraction of
|
|||
|
the effort (and virtually none of the risk) attendant to
|
|||
|
smuggling in a hundred fish, you can quite readily produce a
|
|||
|
hundred Xerox copies of fishing instructions. (If the tar-
|
|||
|
geted government, like present-day America, at least permits
|
|||
|
open discussion of topics whose implementation is re-
|
|||
|
stricted, then that should suffice. But, if the government
|
|||
|
attempts to suppress the flow of information as well, then
|
|||
|
you will have to take a little more effort and perhaps write
|
|||
|
your fishing manual on a floppy disk encrypted according to
|
|||
|
your mythical Eskimo's public-key parameters. But as far as
|
|||
|
increasing real-world access to fish you have made genuine
|
|||
|
nonzero headway--which may continue to snowball as others
|
|||
|
re-disseminate the information you have provided. And you
|
|||
|
have not had to waste any of your time trying to convert id-
|
|||
|
eological adversaries, or even trying to win over the unde-
|
|||
|
cided. Recall Harry Browne's dictum from "Freedom in an
|
|||
|
Unfree World" that the success of any endeavor is in general
|
|||
|
inversely proportional to the number of people whose persua-
|
|||
|
sion is necessary to its fulfilment.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you look at history, you cannot deny that it has
|
|||
|
been dramatically shaped by men with names like Washington,
|
|||
|
Lincoln, . . . Nixon . . . Marcos . . . Duvalier . . .
|
|||
|
Khadaffi . . . and their ilk. But it has also been shaped
|
|||
|
by people with names like Edison, Curie, Marconi, Tesla and
|
|||
|
Wozniak. And this latter shaping has been at least as per-
|
|||
|
vasive, and not nearly so bloody.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And that's where I'm trying to take The LiberTech
|
|||
|
Project. Rather than beseeching the state to please not en-
|
|||
|
slave, plunder or constrain us, I propose a libertarian net-
|
|||
|
work spreading the technologies by which we may seize
|
|||
|
freedom for ourselves.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But here we must be a bit careful. While it is not (at
|
|||
|
present) illegal to encrypt information when government
|
|||
|
wants to spy on you, there is no guarantee of what the fu-
|
|||
|
ture may hold. There have been bills introduced, for exam-
|
|||
|
ple, which would have made it a crime to wear body armor
|
|||
|
when government wants to shoot you. That is, if you were to
|
|||
|
commit certain crimes while wearing a Kevlar vest, then that
|
|||
|
fact would constitute a separate federal crime of its own.
|
|||
|
This law to my knowledge has not passed . . . yet . . . but
|
|||
|
it does indicate how government thinks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Other technological applications, however, do indeed
|
|||
|
pose legal risks. We recognize, for example, that anyone
|
|||
|
who helped a pre-Civil War slave escape on the "underground
|
|||
|
railroad" was making a clearly illegal use of technology--as
|
|||
|
the sovereign government of the United States of America at
|
|||
|
that time found the buying and selling of human beings quite
|
|||
|
as acceptable as the buying and selling of cattle. Simi-
|
|||
|
larly, during Prohibition, anyone who used his bathtub to
|
|||
|
ferment yeast and sugar into the illegal psychoactive drug,
|
|||
|
alcohol--the controlled substance, wine--was using technol-
|
|||
|
ogy in a way that could get him shot dead by federal agents
|
|||
|
for his "crime"--unfortunately not to be restored to life
|
|||
|
when Congress reversed itself and re-permitted use of this
|
|||
|
drug.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So . . . to quote a former President, un-indicted co-
|
|||
|
conspirator and pardoned felon . . . "Let me make one thing
|
|||
|
perfectly clear:" The LiberTech Project does not advocate,
|
|||
|
participate in, or conspire in the violation of any law--no
|
|||
|
matter how oppressive, unconstitutional or simply stupid
|
|||
|
such law may be. It does engage in description (for educa-
|
|||
|
tional and informational purposes only) of technological
|
|||
|
processes, and some of these processes (like flying a plane
|
|||
|
or manufacturing a firearm) may well require appropriate li-
|
|||
|
censing to perform legally. Fortunately, no license is
|
|||
|
needed for the distribution or receipt of information it-
|
|||
|
self.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So, the next time you look at the political scene and
|
|||
|
despair, thinking, "Well, if 51% of the nation and 51% of
|
|||
|
this State, and 51% of this city have to turn Libertarian
|
|||
|
before I'll be free, then somebody might as well cut my
|
|||
|
goddamn throat now, and put me out of my misery"--recognize
|
|||
|
that such is not the case. There exist ways to make your-
|
|||
|
self free.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you wish to explore such techniques via the Project,
|
|||
|
you are welcome to give me your name and address--or a fake
|
|||
|
name and mail drop, for that matter--and you'll go on the
|
|||
|
mailing list for my erratically-published newsletter. Any
|
|||
|
friends or acquaintances whom you think would be interested
|
|||
|
are welcome as well. I'm not even asking for stamped self-
|
|||
|
addressed envelopes, since my printer can handle mailing la-
|
|||
|
bels and actual postage costs are down in the noise compared
|
|||
|
with the other efforts in getting an issue out. If you
|
|||
|
should have an idea to share, or even a useful product to
|
|||
|
plug, I'll be glad to have you write it up for publication.
|
|||
|
Even if you want to be the proverbial "free rider" and just
|
|||
|
benefit from what others contribute--you're still welcome:
|
|||
|
Everything will be public domain; feel free to copy it or
|
|||
|
give it away (or sell it, for that matter, 'cause if you can
|
|||
|
get money for it while I'm taking full-page ads trying to
|
|||
|
give it away, you're certainly entitled to your capitalist
|
|||
|
profit . . .) Anyway, every application of these principles
|
|||
|
should make the world just a little freer, and I'm certainly
|
|||
|
willing to underwrite that, at least for the forseeable fu-
|
|||
|
ture.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I will leave you with one final thought: If you don't
|
|||
|
learn how to beat your plowshares into swords before they
|
|||
|
outlaw swords, then you sure as HELL ought to learn before
|
|||
|
they outlaw plowshares too.
