It used to be… when you had a virus… and started hacking… it pretty much meant you had some strain of the flu.  You might get a day or two off from work.  You’d feel like three-day-old-cat poop.  And Tylenol would be your best friend for about a week.

But NOW…. if there are viruses, and hacking… it generally has to do with that screen and keyboard in front of you right.  Yesh.  Yesh… I shay.   Computer Hackershh.

Now… given the topic of recent events… I will tell you this much.  We don’t want to get into a hacking war.  Not with anyone.  Especially a nutty as a fruitcake, off one’s rocker, not right in the head, raving mad, batty, bonkers, cuckoo, loopy, ditzy, loony, bananas, loco, with a screw loose, touched, gaga, out to lunch, Dictator-Maniac.   Yet… here we have it.   Tonight, North Korea’s Internet went out.  All of it.

I will reiterate.  It is a bad idea to start a hacking war. It could be way worse than nuclear threats. Because before you know it, the planet will be dark, and lacking mass communications.

One of my favorite singer / groups, is David Byrne, and The Talking Heads.  And one of my favorite songs is…. “Nothing But Flowers”

It talks about civilization after what may have been a nuclear war, or a major power grid failure… due to… welllll …. you know…. cough, cough, hack, hack.

One of the lines in the song goes….

“Once there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it.”

I hope this doesn’t get out of hand… I do.  Because I like electricity, and heat.  I like getting my food at a grocery, and driving a car… with gasoline in the tank.

By god, I like Netflix and Facebook. And Cheetos.

I say… “Make Love, Not Destructive Code”

Maybe I’ll write a song.
