Fighting Open Space Organizations

[David Koehler]

Doris:

You raise an interesting question re: good verses evil.  What I am reminded
of, however, is that placing a value on something being good or evil is a
matter of perspective.  Even though we view the acts of Al-Qaeda as being
very evil, we must know that for them they are right from their perspective.
It seems to me passion follows belief that what you are doing is right, even
holy.  This is perhaps the scariest part of this whole thing.  How do we deal
with those whose hatred is so justified in their minds?  This is not a
situation a few bombs will correct.  This is a long term and very painful
process it appears.  So to weigh in on the question of can OS be used for
evil, the answer is yes.  Because for those who use it as such, their passion
surrounds what they believe is just.
