Wrong compromise.

You might have picked the wrong list. We analyze systems. And societies are systems too. We look at weaknesses from an adversary's viewpoint. We switch viewpoints faster than Kasparov. We are the rabbit, and the fox, and the dynamics. We argue about which cuts of the sacred cow are the tastiest. We believe such studies are interesting by themselves, and sometimes practical, for instance letting us strengthen these systems based on our reasoning and experimentation. We use the plural singular as agitprop and to piss Tim off. Security science, bub. You propose a (hysterical big brotheresque--is some friend red asphalt?) system, and we study it. You don't even have to ask us, just make us aware of it :-) >There are countries that are very differing in their laws and liberties. Yes, doncha just miss the Stasi? And what sharp uniforms!
