Everything Is Broken

To all you hackers out there that think you are so smart and that you have it figured out I have only this to say. Sure we get you have the power but it comes with responsibility and just like a man with a gun is responsible for not killing someone with it by accident or on purpose so does a hacker have the same responsibility.

The guys in the silos with the minute man warheads are trusted not to launch them by accident or on purpose. Just as we trust that those in charge of the Internet security and Wall Street will not destroy the system by accident or on purpose even thought they can any time they want to.

It’s called being a human being Quinn and just because you have a gun and can point it at a defenseless child and shoot anytime you want, chances are the thing that makes you a human and not an animal, will not allow you to do that. Are hackers not human beings too? Don’t they want the system to continue to work so they too can waste their time playing cookie jam without wondering whether or not the world is going to grind to a halt because of some script they wrote?
