While I certainly think education can help, I think there will always be an element of society that is irredeemably "bad" and cannot be gotten rid of (or corrected, if you will) through education. Even societal shunning, which makes bad behavior so socially unacceptable that it must hide in the shadows, does not rid us of those who refuse to behave according to acceptable tenets. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
