Or I might refuse to be intimidated by this culture of fear we have
going. If I saw that the kids were using the balloons to do something
unequivocally bad, I'd do something about it, just like I'd do
something if I happened to notice someone using my connection to try
to brute-force a server. But these are, and should be treated as,
exceptions instead of the rule.
I hate how people have become so afraid of personal consequences that
they're afraid of helping or being nice to anybody else.
