Unix won't help.....  This is the way we are going as a society, our ethical
operating system has become infected.  To bad Norton, IBM, and others
can't write a virus killer for that.

Unfortunately we can not, or will not, learn from history.  Other great
civilizations have gone the way we're heading but we have to do it
all over again.
