My Manafesto
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers.
"Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal",
"Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"
... Damn kids. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...
Damn underachiever. Never amount to anything.
I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."
Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart ass... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.
And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...
Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. Get off the damn internet and do your homework!!!
We are the internet. It exists because of us. We make it better while you make the world worse. Is it jealousy? No it called "The Ratrace", "The 9 to 5", "The Grind". If you dont work your a bum? A looser? A Nobody? We look for peace you look for WAR. We see the truth and your blind.
Damn kid your all alike. Are you on drugs are something. Wake up to life!!!!!!
You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now... the world of the transistor, the chip, the beauty of the baud. Our world is beyond this one. Beyond all your crap. Beyond this FAKE, PHONEY, COUNTERFEIT world you live in.
What is it going to take to open peoples eyes to the truth? It makes me very sad to know that everyone I love so dear cannot and will not see the truth.
Stupid kid. You need to see a shrink.
Yeah right. I need to go see a person who has more problems than I do? YOU GET REAL!!!!!!!! You need a shink if you think about it. Running around town all crazy trying to make a dime.
I guess by me not having a "9 to 5" makes me a bum huh? I can make more money sitting here at this machine in one day than anyone of you "9 to 5" people will make in your bimonthly pay period...
We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.
We explore... and you call us criminals.
We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals.
We exist without race, creed, sex, nationality, religious bias... and you call us criminals.
Your the criminals....With your Martin Luther King, David Duke, your KKK, Your George W. Bush, Your rednecks and, Gang bangers.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto.
You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
That is your world so now sulk in it. You belive in it anyways. This is our world so leave your problems and crap out of our world.
To all: Good day
