Hacking to Peaces

     The "Information Superhighway" possesses common traits with a regular
highway.  People travel on it daily and attempt to get to a predetermined
destination.  There are evil criminals who want to violate citizens in any way
possible.  A reckless driver who runs another off the road is like a good hacker.
Hacking is the way to torment people on the Internet.  Most of the mainstream
hacking community feel that it is their right to confuse others for their
entertainment.  Simply stated, hacking is the intrusion into a computer for

the law should be pushed to their farthest extent.  They believe that hacking is
a right that belongs to the individual.  The third group is the people that are
in the middle of the two groups.  These people feel that stealing information is
