Confused Americans for Truth - We Need More Stories Like This One

Everyone who uses computers-- which in this country means almost everyone-- wastes countless hours dealing with security. We accept delayed program loading so that we can scan for viruses. We accept complicated encryption schemes for communicating from machine to machine. We enter passwords wherever we go. In spite of this, web sites continue to go offline or crash because of deliberate attacks.

This news story is something I would like to see more often. I want to see hackers getting arrested and spending long years in jail. I want to see these jail terms publicly announced over and over again. Every hacker should be seen as a disgusting little felon instead of a romantic warrior against The System.

Thank you for listening to this important message. We will resume our usual light-hearted fare as soon as Bruce finishes trying to get the new web development software at work to operate properly within the guidelines of the lab's security system.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat
