Subject: Destroying PCs remotely?

Again, let me know when you eradicate evil as you think these laws will
allow. You believe, by your own statements, that you can actually stop every
terrorist present and future and that one day, there will be no terrorists,
aka people who disagree and take things to an extreme. Good luck
