Do you have special code in your programs to check for presence
of The Internet Worm? Not anymore. Why not? Because that security
exploit has been plugged, so the problem is not prevalent. Hence,
it is no longer an issue, even if you loaded an old version and
reintroduced the exploit. No one would figure you would be vulnerable,
so no one would try.

Oppose globalization and One World Governments like the UN.
