I do not believe there is much of a difference between being at the mercy of a government bureaucrat and being at the mercy of another bureaucrat. I think one of the key things you and the original objector miss is that the typists were usu

A guy from the CIA told me that they bought a ton of early sun boxes to keep them afloat, seeing American-made technology as a key national security interest. He signed the visitor log as working for 'the company'. The CIA bit was
