I'd feel better if I didn't have to worry. In your neighborhood, one
can not have windows because you feel that you have the right to
break breakable things. I strongly object to that. In meat-space,
such behaviour will land you in jail. This makes you nothing more
than a common vandal, a Cracker.

Please, let's not confuse the lofty ideals of freedom with the common
dirt of simple vandalism. Our ancestors decided that this was wrong,
over a thousand years ago, when the Vandals were routed the first
time. I am also starting to get a pretty good idea of whom mwsh'd two
of my name-servers, in Fall98 (A person I'd love to meet ... up close
and personal [I didn't need to add 12 hours to an 18x7 schedule]).
Because, what you have just alluded to was a Cracker ethic and a
common rationalization, that crackers use, for their activities.
