I certainly understand this philosophy. There are a lot of sick people out
there. Is there any logical reason why we should provide the information to
fulfill their destructive fantasies? For the same reason, should we provide
the information for third world countries to build nuclear devices? Why
should we provide the information to victimize ourselves?
