Safety is a lie but sells well to those without common sense. The power monger has but one guiding principle: Induce fear, exploit, repeat.

As with so many freedoms, lack of proper understanding leads to all sorts of trouble, cost, harm and ultimately death. I remember during the dawning of GNU, playing with these new innovations before the ludite lynch mobs, when the word "hacker" was only known by the uber informed few. As with everything that becomes popular we must accept a certain level of legislation but things are completely out of control and innovation is paying the ultimate price. The prosecutor on this case should be barred from practicing law at the least, however, war mandates a much more final outcome. I have tapered my ./ visits as of late because it continues to deliver articles that really piss me off. I send letters to the talking heads daily, I support open source everything but have that looming feeling that this is going to turn violent before we see a solution because there is virtually no place to direct ones rage / effort that has any effect what-so-ever.

What is the point of enabling political sociopath's when we can, instead, deal with the chaos of free markets? It's like trading the fresh air for Mustard Gas... The fear mongers have instilled a constant thirst for a hierarchical society, which as we have proven in the bazaar, totally works against innovation and civilised progress. In the US it is your constitutional duty to NOT pay the treasonists who currently invest our government. I celebrate any corporation doing the same!
