I'd like to open a discussion based on this quote from Marcus Ranum's ACM Queue 
article entitled "Security: The root of the problem":


"We're stuck in an endless loop on the education concept. We've been trying to 
educate programmers about writing secure code for at least a decade and it 
flat-out hasn't worked. While I'm the first to agree that beating one's head 
against the wall shows dedication, I am starting to wonder if we've chosen the 
wrong wall. What's Plan B?"
