A fun read from Bruce Schneier: "We've opened up a new front on the war on terror. It's an attack on the unique, the unorthodox, the unexpected; it's a war on different. If you act different, you might find yourself investigated, questioned, and even arrested -- even if you did nothing wrong, and had no intention of doing anything wrong."
Now, narrow it down from society to your network? Do you "fight the different" on your network? Is it working well? Just a thought ...
