As an US citizen and Tor user I fully agree with you Mark. I've been
greatly saddened the past few years to see our constitutionally
declared freedoms eroded away by a corrupt government. While there are
plenty of us who are still alert and doing what we can, the vast bulk
of of US population reminds me of the sheep in Orwell's "Animal Farm".
Concerning Tor and the Internet,I think it's extremely important that
we find and maintain secure, private means to communicate and make use
of the Web.  My hat is off to the developers of Tor and other software
aimed to keep us free.
