Savanna.gnu.org compromised too

And, how exactly do you propose to address these causes?? I personally
don't know of any magic method of transforming everyone on the planet into
an ethical and law-abiding person... I quite suspect that for as long as
the human species exists, there will be some of us who break the law, and/or
do bad things... (And, let's be clear: the law is not always in line with
what's right, either...) I just don't see that it's possible at all to
ever do anything to change that basic fact of our nature... Short of
maybe some intensive genetic-engineering to breed out our bad sides, but
that will lead to a race of soulless zombies, like in every dystopian
sci-fi movie ever made... ;-)

So, I think we're better off addressing an issue which we actually have a
hope of doing something about: protecting ourselves from those people who
would choose to try to do us harm... Sure, it's a never-ending battle, and
there is a constant escalation on both sides... But, really, what else IS
there to do??
