Avenged Sevenfold:

I thought it was a frivolous poll.

Why is it about good and bad?

Who's to say what's good or what's bad?

These are all personal adjectives to
describe typically what one likes
or dislikes.

Also, many folks seem to think security
is a one-stop solution but it isn't.
Security is a continual process; the "bad"
guys constantly discover and/or create
vulnerabilities that the "good" guys
then fix.

I actually think the "bad" guys are doing
all of us a favor by throwing problem
areas into relief. It's too bad their
counterparts aren't equally gifted in
that regard.

Ultimately I think neither side will win this
war. I expect it to continue till kingdom come.
