This is the line that should concern everyone who isn't a oil baron or defense contractor:
"I don't believe that our definition of terrorism is so broad," said Ashcroft. "It is broad enough to include things like assaults on computers, and assaults designed to change the purpose of government."
I personally think the purpose of government should change. Fewer $4 billion bailouts for industries that are profitable for example...
Would everyone out there clamoring for retaliation please take a moment and consider why the US would be attacked in such a violent manner? Sometimes bullies get their asses kicked. Or, as the more popular saying goes, "live by the sword, die by the sword." These attacks are not unprovoked.
I can see it now--a fuel cell powered Chevy Malibu, fresh from it's trans-atlantic voyage from Nazi Germany burts into flames over an airstrip in New Jersey.
I knew it! The corporate denial machine is right again. Those people at Love Canal were just like these carpal-tunnel fakers...oh wait, it turned out that they were living in a dioxin punchbowl.
But that Gulf war syndrome. Carpal-tunnel is just like that. Just a bunch of...oh wait, turns out walking through clouds of depleted uranium dust might be bad for you.
I've been volunteering at a Seattle area non-profit called Technology Access Foundation (TAF) for 8 months teaching networking to high school kids. TAF is an amazing organization that is internationally acclaimed for its work to close the "digital divide."
Working with ages 5-18, TAF starts out doing just what you are talking about--getting kids using computers in constructive ways. They just completed their first year of TechStart (a program for 5-12 year olds.) Check out their site--they're great people.
