i wrote about this more than a year ago. we've seen what the script
kiddies and anarchists are able to do. imagine what the *really* good
people, the ones motivated by money, are up to? do you not suppose
that the internet has gone unnoticed as a fertile field for a whole
new kind of organized crime? do you not figure that people, hidden
safely away from our laws and in places opposed to western ideas and
therefore tacitly approving, are not already at work seizing just
about everything we have that is of value? *of course* they are.
