[Tfug] Fwd: Re: Not sure what I just did..

It is rare for profundity to be grounded enough to engender common sense.

I am concerned about putting up a website within the confines of the United
States, with it really threatened freedoms and protections on intellectual
property. Switzerland was just one possibility I pulled out of a hat. I like
Switzerland, it is pretty, the people are peaceful and nice, and when they
determine lawful limitations for governance, the governmnet abides by those
laws. In the U.S. most people are sitting on the respective arses while some
not very nice people are implementing their agendas. And in the chorus,
accusations of tin foil hats are rampant. I don't really want to put a website
in this country.
