Yes. Proactively and preemptively also. I leave the archives open so our commons, our pool of great information, can be 
Googled and put to far greater use than it would be as private archives. Ignore the spies and loons and get on with our 
work. I've been doing just that since 1987 with my BBS. No need to stop now. Merge our work with that of the great open 
souce resources like Google, S&H Library, Journey To Forever, and thousands more. The goal of "fulfilling a vibrant 
ecology" must be achieved. I have believed in this since I became a dyed-in-the-wool back-to--the-land'er, and that's 
where I will be for the rest of my life. Everything I do revolves around all that, Web, computer, farm, shop, media 
work, crafts, all of it.

Dictionary break is in order:
deontology (uncountable)
   1. The ethical study of morals, duties and rights with an approach that focuses on the rightness or wrongness of 
actions themselves, as opposed to the rightness or wrongness of the consequences of those actions.

If you're interested in tactics, take a look at Ward Churchill's "COINTELPRO Papers" 
and his "Agents of Repression".

That really rings a bell, COINTELLPRO. I will have a look at these works.

Here we go again:
"Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act".
That's the one. Gives rise to the following events in the news:
UK girls held in NYC orphanage after mother gets ill

Grandmother arrested at McDonald's drive-thru for not pulling car forward

FBI whistleblower tells librarians about discriminatory practices and bad 
procedure at the Bureau
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/24/fbi-whistleblower-te.html
and there's more...this is just a sample
Most of the media is a boring waste of time, blatant propaganda, pap for the 
dumbed-down masses,
bread and circus and rocknroll and guns and drugs, alcohol, tobacco, 
deliberately cultivated violent behavior,
total lack of cultural identity or association with community of any kind, 
attention deficit of epidemic proportions,
self indulgence and self gratification to the complete exclusion of anyone else, and so on. People victimized by these 
trends are meat on the table for those capitalizing on the erosion of the fabric of global society.

Thank the energizing force in the universe for the honest worthwhile new media (like BB inspite of all its silliness) on 
the web enabling us to get a grip on dailing happenings and our relationship with the world around us.

- and what about Net Neutrality; the haves get the 8mb/s DSL or as-fast cable 
access
In France everyone gets (I think) 12mb/sec Web accesss.

Curently I have to worry about access to local farmers markets in the face of 
takeover attempts by
local cliques and their political power grabs. You would not believe what the nice and talented people in one of my 
markets have had to put up with over the past year; unbelievable; but we persevere. Blessed are the meek for they shall 
inherit the Earth - the Beatitudes.
