Hehehe!

"Since someone could pirate one of your conspiracy books."

Hey, let 'em. The spread of truth is the ultimate form of finance for the true spirit.

"Face it, I never pretended to give a damn about my fellow man, while pimping BS stories about politics or suckering folks in with free software then charging them a bundle to maintain it. I just go and help them if they need it during times of disaster. We live in hurricane country."

While I understand your mentality, I always am forced to take the disadvantaged side, which says, "should I bend over and take this girl just because she is helpless and blind?"
..you'd be amazed at the vicious soulless hurricanes us humans can create without thinking we had any part of..

"Oh so you do support pirates because they get even with the man and driving the cost of product up."

Uhhm, don't be a sorry case, mr friend, the only party that keeps driving the cost up is the original seller. Am I responsible for the cost of gas rising, just because I drive a car? Why does congress keep bending over to these guys? Think a scam might be going through the works?

"No one deserves to have their car ripped off regardless of who leave the keys in the ignition."

No, but they shouldn't complain when they leave their keys in the car and go back in the house to make a cup of tea..

"What you are doing is, making the crime less offensive if you make it easy for the criminal.."

Ahhh, like flyin the bin Laddies first class a few weeks after 9/11?..

"The criminal knows the property doesn't belong to him. Stealing is stealing."

If only we could get the politicians and businessmen to agree and adhere to that sentiment, then I'd be right there along with you.
..but so long as only one side is expected to take that principle seriously, I find it insulting to honor it..
