There really is no security on the internet.
There never has been, and it's getting even worse in the real world, when you have to swipe your drivers license to buy cigs or alcohol, give the fucking optomitrist your name date of birth and your social to get glasses made, every gawddamn form you fill out is a chance for identity theft, and yet our government from the local up to the fed tell you to protect your information and we all know it's a fucking impossible quest, it can't be done.
Computers and the internet are a wonderful thing, but they are also a scourge to the population in general.

A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.
