...are any threat to me or anyone else. But folks once THOUGHT witchcraft was an immediate and terrible threat, and they created whole institutions and legal contexts to deal with it, just as we are doing with the DHS. Fear of witches was irrational and led to hysteria. Nowadays people are reacting to completely innocuous pieces of circuitry as though they were an immediate and terrible threat. It's still irrational and still hysterical.
