Once lawyers really do control society - something that appears to be happening rather rapidly, especially in the US - then we'll have a whole lot more to worry about than threats to Linux.

The everyone-loses (except the lawyers) parasitic effect on our economies and technological progress will probably do more to destroy our societies than any threat from fanatical terrorism. What the lawmakers and law practitioners are doing is akin to "legal", non-violent financial and intellectual terrorism against all of us.

I don't mean to sound sensationalist, but the things I read in my newspapers these days make me *shiver*....
