is the number of./ers that were psycho-militant about freedom a few weeks ago, and who are now talking about "reasonable" searches. Either you believe in the liberty afforded by the United States Constitution or you should leave and go to another country like England. Their airports feel free to strip search you, and yet they still have quite a terrorist problem. Laws will not fix this problem. Not electing frat boys who allowed arms to be sold to foreign nations that overthrew legitimate governments and then started sponsoring terrorists might.
I wonder if this is perhaps our fault. All of this destruction is our fault.
Most of us learned in an environment where there was very little information to start with. We hacked to use our computers, not to play with out computers.
Most of us are not social about computers. While we were learning how to use computers, the rest of society was making fun of us.
We improved computers so that anyone could use them, just to prove to others how cool they really are.
And there's the problem. Now that anyone can do anything, there's no morals.
So I guess my question to the SlashDot community is - "Is there a mentoring program for these script kiddies?" If not, why not? Why are we not teaching them why computers are they way they are. Why we treat each other the way we do? Why the heck some of us read slash dot even though we don't have a clue what's going on half the time (:>).
I personally would like to help teach the morals of computing. I don't have a clue where to begin. So that's my question. Where do we begin?
