Are you saying that because someone might do something evil, we should all lose our right to privacy and anonymity to protect everyone from what the mad scientist might do?

Can you even show that taking my privacy away makes me markedly safer, because unless you can establish that first I'm not even listening.

That's not a world I want to live in thanks.



I would wager that a substantial number (probably majority) of individuals on this site (SF/NYC dwellers, especially) would trade their right (Ok: not really, but everyone elses) to keep and bear arms for a bit of (false) security.

A bit of malfeasance: nobody gets any rights.
