Perhaps the human race is a virus -- and the earth its host. The nature of our existance is to create life from the destruction of some other resource. A virus is no differant. It is an attempt to create artificial life that can subsist and thrive in its own environment, on what resources are available to it. I'm not trying to say that viruses are "good" or "bad" but to humbly point out that we should recognize them for what they are... life. I guess my point is this: even though computer viruses are dangerous and can be terribley destructive, we must realize that they hold potential far beyond what our minds can grasp right now. Thanks for your attention, acidbug
