Due to the ubiquity of the internet and those who know how to manipulate it, hacking legitimate (or not so legitimate) web sites may be the first shots fired in an uncivil war. With apologies to T.S. Eliot,
This is the way the war begins. This is the way the war begins. This is the way the war begins. Not with a bang but a hack.
Or, with no apologies at all to Robert Frost,
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

About danmillerinpanama

I was graduated from Yale University in 1963 with a B.A. in economics and from the University of Virginia School of law, where I was the notes editor of the Virginia Law Review, in 1966. Following a four years of active duty with the Army JAG Corps, with two tours in Korea, I entered private practice in Washington, D.C. specializing in communications law. I retired in 1996 to sail with my wife, Jeanie, on our sailboat Namaste to and in the Caribbean. In 2002, we settled in the Republic of Panama and live in a very rural area up in the mountains. I also have also written for Pajamas Media and Pajamas Tatler.
