It seems that "alice" has fallen into the same
catagory as the "gun","Car" and a number of other
things that could be used for both good and evil..
Lets think about it, The computer can let your kids go
to a library or a zoo that they would never be able to
ever goto. It will let you make a presentation that
gets you the promotion. It can help a doctor find a
cure to some illness that he may have never been able
to find AND YET in the hands of a hacker it is more
deadly then an atomic bomb... So do we now go on a
sueing frenzy and go after every computer maker...
hahah I think not. Just becuase someone has decieded
to use alice for right or wrong reasons does not mean
that she should be taken away. remember guns don't
kill people... PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE...=20
