In a word, no - an email message has always been nothing more than a simple text message sent unencrypted to a recipient we choose. So all the email that we so blithely send all over the Internet everyday is neither private nor secure. Every birthday greeting or Dear John email, every complaint, rant or verbal purge we may have sent to our employers, credit companies, congressman or customer service rep is subject to delivery errors or outright interception.

How can this be? To answer that we need to understand how email works. For the vast majority of email users today, the email system they use consists of two servers providing incoming and outgoing services, SMTP and POP3.

The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server handles the outgoing email. SMTP was designed years ago when plain ascii text was all there was to send via email. So, when you push the "Send" button in your email client, the SMTP server at your ISP (Internet Service Provider) connects with the incoming POP3 (Post Office Protocol ver. 3) server where you are sending the email. The servers have a short "chat" verifying that the email address you are trying to send to exists on the incoming POP3 server. Then the SMTP server passes the message to the POP3 server and the POP3 server puts the message into the recipient's email box. At no time during the process is your email encrypted to protect your privacy. The message could be intercepted at anytime during the process and read by anyone.

On occasion, email sent to you or by you may even be delivered to the wrong inbox and your private message is no longer private. a single misdirected message could expose you to all kinds of trouble depending upon it's content.

Well, no one wants to read your email right? Wrong! Have you ever heard of Carnivore? That's a system that the FBI uses to harvest all email traffic going through a network. How does this affect you? When the FBI hooks Carnivore up to your ISP's network because they suspect someone of dealing drugs or some other crime, Carnivore will filter through ALL email looking for keywords that relate to the crime in question. And because the search has to be intentionally vague, you may be sending a request for information about a prescription drug you take and Carnivore will harvest your email to be read by a human agent. Suddenly, the drugs you're taking are now public knowledge. Spammers have also been known to harvest email addresses via captured emails.

OK - so now that you know the problem, what should you do about securing your privacy? It was hinted at earlier on... encryption! Learn how to use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) to encrypt your email.

PGP uses a Public/Private key method to encrypt email. First you create a "Public" key. This is the key that others will use to encrypt email sent to you. Send this key to everyone you want to receive encrypted email from. Then you create a "Private" key. This is the key you use to decrypt any encrypted email sent to you. Safeguard this key well. It is the only thing that can decrypt your messages. If you tell someone what it is or loose it, your privacy is again compromised.

Popcorn was used during the time of the American Indians, It may very well have been one of the three sisters. The three sisters relates to the way American Indians grew Maize or corn. Many native species of plants are still grown today. These include potatoes, chili's, amaranth, quinoa and sunflowers.

They would make mounds to plant they maize or corn in along with beans and squash. The would pick fertile soil near ponds and creeks. The circular mounds were made using hand tools. Material was gathered from the areas where they were. They would use long sticks to break up the soil. Bones from deer and buffalo were used. They would fashion shoulder blades to long sticks for use as hoes. Other long sticks were fashioned together for trellises used to dry gathered food.

The corn was planted first in the mounds. Fish was buried as fertilizer. The corn was planted along the outside of the mound. When it reached 10-12 inches high the beans would be planted. They planted the beans next to the corn stalks. The beans would then grow up the stalks without bothering the corn. This made a natural trellis. When the beans were up, they would plant the squash in the middle of the mounds. The squash was protected from the corn. The beans provided nitrogen for the beans and corn helpeach other grow.

When the beans ripened they could be picked easily from the vines. This allowed for a greater crop and easier harvesting. The corn could be picked as it ripened. They would leave the stalks up for any beans that were still growing and to help shade the squash. The squash would be easy to pick when they were ready.

The Indians would also alternate the rows of the squash and corn. This would stop them from competing for water and minerals. The squash was grown with the corn or by itself. The Indians used about an eight of an acre per person for the three sisters. They held the earth as sacred. This would let them take advantage of the land and provide them with a wholesome source of hand grown food. They wouldn't even use manure from horses or wild animals. They saw it as unclean in both the spiritual and temporal sense.

The Indians believed in cultivating twice during the growing season. The first time was done during a hot sunny day a few weeks after planting. This took care of most of the weeds.The second time was done a few weeks after the first. Any weeds that sprouted after that were usually shaded by the growing corn.

The corn that the Indians grew was probably a type the dried very hard. The Indians were known to roast immature corn in the husk to be eaten. Evidence has been found to suggest that the Indians would roast skewered corn on the cob over open flames and eaten as popcorn.
