Not to make any those issues seem inconsequential, but Somali pirates
don't affect every business in the world. Yes we need to do something
about it, but it won't shut down many businesses. Global warming, well
Al Gore (inventor of the Internet) will tackle that. Civil war in the
Congo is basically a regional thing.

But computer security is something that affects almost everyone. Don't
you think it's more difficult to turn your head to issues that directly
affect you?

Just curious.

pending crisis in computer security, Darfur, Somali pirates, global
warming, civil war in the Congo, ...

Feel free to *try* to go for a week and *not* turn your head at a crisis
you hear about. Actually care about every single one. Let me know how it
works out for you...
