Mills@CISL-SERVICE-MULTICS.ARPA (12/20/85)
Hi there,
Since I have been somewhat active lately I though I should
introduce myself. My name is John Mills. I work for Honeywell on the
Multics Project. Yes that is still around, sort of. I am currently
working on improvments to our TCP-IP implementations with the current
focus on domain name servers. I have a BA in Mathematical Sciences from
U-Mass Boston with a concentration in computer science. I am extreamly
interested in Civil Liberties as well as
copywrite/patent/computer/communication law. I have though about going
to law school, but am unsure how well I would realy like that.
I am politically active in the Naturist movement and intent to
get more involed with the anti-nuclear movement. I am extremely
interested in Freedom in a generic sence. It seems all my life people
kept saying things like, "the best thing about America is you are free".
After hearing that for better than 20 years I believed it. I now get
very annoyed when I learn about the goverment doing anything that
restricts personal freedom without a legitimate reason. My favorite
current example is what difference does it make to the purposes of
goverment whether people wear bathing suits or not. You may find it
interesting that in a fairly recent gallop poll, the majority of
Americans think that clothing optional beaches are just fine, even if
they might not personally use them. Yet the goverment supports the
views of the minority. Yet another case of "The Moral Majority" not
being the majority, and well, morals are subjective.
