I read your essay... how rare am I, really? Security for the owner of the computer. A tool for that user, the person you daily uses it in their lives. Not some corporation or government. Security from everyone who is not the owner, and especially NOT any code, from anyone one, anywhere. Users should NEVER have to blindly trust code. They should ALWAYS have a way to play with code, and know it won't have any unwanted side effects, ever. Security to what end? It's a tool, man. Think of the care free days of CP/M and MS-DOS, when you could get shareware disks full of nifty stuff to try out, and you could write programs to do anything you wanted, and share them with the world. You write-protected your OS, and could try anything, and see how you liked it, in safety. That power, in the hands of the people, is the end I seek.
