Security

What does everyone think about passwords? I think they stink. I loathe the fact that we require so much security because we have made the world such an unsafe place in general. I am slowly coming to the realization of the globalisation of crime which is forced upon developing nations just as firmly as the trade. I firmly believe
people need to have a say in the environment in which they live and centralized power structures don't afford us that. They certainly don't have the efficiency that is needed to solve the problems we are facing. Back to the password... How long is it before some people steal our stuff out in the ether. Do we trust our data with Google or on our own server? On the note of cracking passwords and security, do
you think we'll ever see 'radical ethical hackers' that act like robin hood, 'taxing' the 100 richest corporations in the world of say, 5% of cash and redistributing the capital directly to the poor through some or other means? We spent, as a species, 1 trillion dollars in weapons this year. The estimated cost to buy health, sanitation, food for the hungry around the world? Oh, thats only 50 billion dollars... If only it where as simple as a buyout but i think it requires a refocusing on broader social issues as well. We can choose to rally around issues if
we want, issues like poverty, the environment, health care, education or we can buy in to all this crap, the lies we are told by the masters who rape the world when we could all enjoy a much higher standard of living and quality of life if we had more democratic choice in matters that affect our security directly, we are simply left with no direct say in how the masters use our money, unfortunately we have to live in the resultant unstable world...
