Worthless word games
"..9/11 was the death of 3000 people...
And not taking cyber security seriously will bring them back?"

Spending *wisely* will prevent the *next* 3000.
Spending *unwisely* on lobbyists pet cyber projects will prevent 0.

"I honestly don't understand why you think it's an either or situation."

Money trees don't exist, Santa Clause isn't real, and don't get me started on the Tooth Fairy.

"It's both if we want to keep up with bad guys.
You've a pre-9/11 mentality."

Compare and contrast:

Terrorism - inducing terror for political or religious purposes.

Cyberterrorist - Annoying Denial of Service/Hacks/virus/worms attacks. More annoying than the fridge being empty of beer, but less annoying than an itchy mosquito bit.

"Same would apply to us if our economy was disrupted. More difficult to fight the war."

That's *cyber*-economy, itunes, amazon, etc. Suprisingly when the Internet has problems the real world goes on as normal. Why is that?
