All this talk of nuclear weapons rings alarm bells in my mind.
We all know that nuclear weapons are capable of mass destruction
and we are rightfully fearful of them but we are able to sleep well
at night knowing that nobody in their right mind would use them.
The real weapons of mass destruction in todays world reach into
your wallets at night and take that five note or few cents that you
can never quite account for but leave the most part for you.
The good conman will not steal from you but stimulate your greed
and take from you that way.
The good thief has no interest in getting caught, only in continuing
his profession.
Welcome to the new millenium of information warfare.

Wrong.
Its not stealing if they dont know it happend.
Has the burglar only stolen from me on Friday morning, when I become aware that the theft happened?
