Those hackers that haven't been busted yet -- yet -- are laughing it off. Do I detect whistling past the graveyard? I thought I did . . .
It's one thing for hackers to go after organizations for their real and substantive human-rights violations and actual crimes. It's another to rant, "We can do anything we want, for any reason or no reason at all, and you can't stop us, nyah-nyah-nyah," which is the hallmark of spoiled brats -- not to mention completely disregarding common sense and throwing caution to the winds and then LOUDLY resenting the inevitable disasters that happen to them as a result. Tell me, what sort of parenting did these idiots have? What sort of appreciation of civilization do they have? What sort of relationship with reality do they have, especially social reality? -- No, don't bother. It's pretty clear on the face of it. What these hackers are guilty of, above all, is hubris, an overwhelming arrogance born out of a conviction that nothing bad will ever happen to them no matter what they do. I wonder how many of them are tuning up as serial killers -- after all, if they can get away with anything, surely they can get away with that! Right? Right? -- Hey, what are you doing with those cuffs?! You can't do that to me! -- Oh, you can? Uh-oh . . .
