Subject: Suggestion for CP browser

I think a CP browser is just the ticket to change the way the world works.
How about this:
- CP writes a browser with PGP or better quality crypto.
- CP makes it freely available to any individual
- CP licenses it to corporations for $1 per copy
- Funds produced go to support worthy causes, support a permanent
home for CP, and support anti GAK efforts (lobying, etc.)
I think the CP browser should include an embedded language (not Java -
maybe a version of LISP) that does a far better job than Java of assuring
limitations on what programs can do. It should also support faking the
source of a browser request (for privacy of the user), all forms of digital
cash, firewall-type forwarding, pseudonyms, and all of the other things that
CPs fight for.
