What's the appropriate saying here? He who fights with monsters might take care, let he thereby become a monster.
Would LulzSec really have been some half assed try to get funds, or laws, or a new agency - it would'nt have sounded like this much fun. Pranks is one thing (among many) government sucks at - they would rather have invented some bearded muslim super hacker (with a beard) threatening to stear subways into doom.
I dunno. I find it making a lot more sense that there are idiots on the internet who do things "for the lulz" (They date back from newsgroup era, you know we call them trolls) then that the CIA would infiltrate or create such a group to push trough a law.
So a group of assholes get together and expose a wealth of serious flaws in internet security and now they are responsible for the government taking away some of our freedom? Please, the government could do this at any point for any reason, the scapegoat does not matter.
The POINT is they started the same week as the IP ACT was going to congress!Quote:

Ever since 911 the Government has been slowly taking away citizen freedoms in the name of making us safe. When grandmas in wheel chairs get their diapers searched, and little 7 year old girls are nearly strip searched at the airport, what do you expect. One moron puts a fake bomb in his shoes and every flying citizen from that point on has to have their shoes searched? It's insanity.
The U.S. Government has been caught feeding lsd to the unsuspecting to see what happens, and being sprayed from the air with bio tech to find its effectiveness. As far as I'm concerned it's time for the two party system to be shown the door, and the one way to do that is to say your voting Dem or Rep but at the polls go independent. Sure many of them will be bought out by the powerful pacs and lobbiests but that's always a good way to pick out the greedy and show them the door. Is this cyber hacking and the Government reaction to it any different from the RIAA or MPAA crying about piracy that doesn't really hurt them but just gives them ammunition for lawsuits to line their pockets? Or game developers that put harmful DRM on their games that hurt those who pay but does nothing to combat piracy? A Government of the People, by the People, for the People has now become a Government of the Corporation, by the Corporation, for the Corporation. What is now happening in the Arab countries is due here soon if they don'e get their act together.
For years Ralph Nader has run for president and it was a joke, but how bad can he be after living thru George W or the seemingly Bank loving Obama, both of whom still keep us at war. Who benifits from war? General Dynamics and all the other arms dealers of this country. Wouldn't it be nice if they stopped making bombs and turned their attention to renewable energy? Just think of the young soldiers that would save. Politicians do not fight wars, they create them, and then send the young to die in their stead. So if Lulzsec turned out to be the Governments doing who would be suprised? Not me!
