[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

When a comment states that a policy decision was made by me,
please talk with me about whether to change it.

I agree to deleting this line.

  > -;; Aung San Suu Kyi says to call her country "Burma".
  > -;; The murderous generals say to call it "Myanmar".

but I still want to call that country Burma.
The renaming was the decision of the murderous generals,
and they are no better than they were before.
