Cyber Tuesday – Anonymous Threatens to Shut US Down

What I don't hear about is the threat made by the hacking group, Anonymous, to "make sure that's this May 7 will be a day to remember."  I wouldn't take this too lightly, just one week ago today a single tweet about an attack on the White House spiked the markets down during trading hours.  No one is taking them too seriously as they made a similar threat against Israel last month and nothing happened   Meanwhile, the Pentagon is claiming the Chinese military is targeting Government computers – oh, if only we weren't sequestering their money, they could fight this new and expensive threat!  

America is part of an elite group of 6 countries in the World that spends more on their military than they do on education.  If we had more education, we'd probably have more engineers and, if we had more engineers, we wouldn't be so worried about Chinese hackers.  China is also in the coockoo club, spending 1.5x more money on their military than education but that's just $99Bn in a country of 1.2Bn while the US spends $663Bn on the military and $107Bn on Education (1/5th and just 3.5% of all Government spending).   

 I guess one day we can cut out the middle man and just drop students on our enemies.  Figure 16,675 teachers must teach about 400,000 students (or used to, in this case) – I doubt even the most hardened of bunkers can withstand 400,000 students being dropped on them from 60,000 feet.  It's a win-win because it saves money on the missiles and cuts down on our need to educate the kids with our scarce supply of teachers – if we can target just using poor kids, I'm sure the bill would fly through the House…
