I can not disagree, however, where does the responsibility to ensure liberty
lay, and what is required to ensure said liberty? specifically, what may be
suggested that one do, assuming bearing arms is inappropriate, to ensure
email privacy in particular and 'internet' liberty in general?

Hmmm, I think the federal government might have another opinion that topic,
re: Waco, etc., but this is far off the topic. It's an idyllic viewpoint,
though. But I'm afraid we're at the point in history where the phrase "a
life of freedom in the United States" is an oxymoron. And, if Carnivore
isn't as clear an example of that as one needs, then one is probably wearing
rose-colored glasses.

we have the right to own anything we can dream up and build, we do not
always have the right to use it for its intended purpose

I like this idea!  Yeah, if we can reclassify black boxes as munitions, as
the NSA has
done to encryption for years, then we can claim that we have the "right to

boxes".

...just like we have the right to own nuclear weapons.
