Reality bypasses govt again
 
In the Bahamas, the govt owns the phone company Batelco and outlawed
Skype because they make a lot of revenue on their monopoly. Of
course, nobody obeys them. What lesson should be learned here?

Screw government. If they mess with you, ask for a public defender and
with hold taxes. There are 100% legal ways to do this.

Seriously. What are they going to do? Toss you in jail? Not likely.

You can't use Skype in the Bahamas. Also, you're a moron.

I think that answer was from the "reality based community" which tells
you a lot.


Yes, I'm part of the reality based world.

racist.

It seems to me that the govt can pass any laws it wants but if they
have no way to enforce the law the law is meaningless and a waste of
money. They would have to inspect every computer or ban all encrypted
communications which would entirely shut down commerce. This was an
attempt to produce a govt monopoly without any consideration of
advances in technology that might bypass the govt tech.

I'd suggest you take it up with that gov't. If you want to change a
law in this country, I'd suggest getting like-minded individuals
together and lobby your representative. Or, you can just break the
law.

I'm sure you don't know your head from a hole in the ground. So, now
you're claiming that a recovery won't happen? Are you really that
stupid?
