I was thinking the other day about how vulnerable our communications are
to HACKer or terrorist attacks...  and how recent our vulnerability is...

Then I thought about the lone telegraph line across the country back in
the 1800's...  It seems since we first harnesed the electron for
communications, we have always been vulnerable....  But I dont recall
jerks going out and cutting down telegraph wires just to be mean...

So what is different is probably just the selfish, rottenness of some
people today...

Just a thought...(more of a thought about telegraph and communications
infrastructures than a coment about people in general)...
