-    4154 When rumor about LoD's mastery of Georgia's switching network got
-    4155 around to BellSouth through Bellcore and telco security scuttlebutt,
-    4156 they at first refused to believe it.  If you paid serious attention to
-    4157 every rumor out and about these hacker kids, you would hear all kinds
-    4158 of wacko saucer-nut nonsense:  that the National Security Agency
-    4159 monitored all American phone calls, that the CIA and DEA tracked
-    4160 traffic on bulletin-boards with word-analysis programs, that the Condor
-    4161 could start World War III from a payphone.

-    11658 Kapor is a man with a vision.  It's a very novel vision which he and
-    11659 his allies are working out in considerable detail and with great
-    11660 energy.  Dark, cynical, morbid cyberpunk that I am, I cannot avoid
-    11661 considering some of the darker implications of "decentralized,
-    11662 nonhierarchical, locally empowered" networking.
-    11663 
-    11664 I remark that some pundits have suggested that electronic
-    11665 networking--faxes, phones, small-scale photocopiers--played a strong
-    11666 role in dissolving the power of centralized communism and causing the
-    11667 collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
-    11668 
-    11669 Socialism is totally discredited, says Kapor, fresh back from the
-    11670 Eastern Bloc.  The idea that faxes did it, all by themselves, is rather
-    11671 wishful thinking.
-    11672 
-    11673 Has it occurred to him that electronic networking might corrode
-    11674 America's industrial and political infrastructure to the point where
-    11675 the whole thing becomes untenable, unworkable--and the old order just
-    11676 collapses headlong, like in Eastern Europe?
-    11677 
-    11678 "No," Kapor says flatly.  "I think that's extraordinarily unlikely.  In
-    11679 part, because ten or fifteen years ago, I had similar hopes about
-    11680 personal computers--which utterly failed to materialize." He grins
-    11681 wryly, then his eyes narrow. "I'm VERY opposed to techno-utopias.
-    11682 Every time I see one, I either run away, or try to kill it."
-    11683 
-    11684 It dawns on me then that Mitch Kapor is not trying to make the world
-    11685 safe for democracy.  He certainly is not trying to make it safe for
-    11686 anarchists or utopians--least of all for computer intruders or
-    11687 electronic rip-off artists.  What he really hopes to do is make the
-    11688 world safe for future Mitch Kapors.  This world of decentralized,
-    11689 small-scale nodes, with instant global access for the best and
-    11690 brightest, would be a perfect milieu for the shoestring attic
-    11691 capitalism that made Mitch Kapor what he is today.
