Yes, teenagers. Demonstrate to me computer viruses, worms, and trojans aren't a problem, or provide evidence that they're not created largely by teenagers, and I'll retract the word.

If you don't see the harm a script kiddie could do to his neighbors and the environment with a toolbox full of predesigned microscopic spy devices and deep-ocean self-replicators (the easiest kind to make, and the hardest to clean up), then you don't have much imagination.

Sounds like a job for Commander Poindexter, whose ethics are clearly sufficently nano.

Stand ready to be Poindexterized.

We've already got one Wiley. And it's worked extremely well, apparently.

I think we need a special organization to make sure that fairy-dust and leprechaun-magic are not used for evil as well.

I think a tinfoil suit would adequately protect my body from being turned into a mass of grey goo.

Teenagers? Bah! What about 7-year-olds? My folks went apoplectic when we got those cowboy, farm, and army sets with 200 plastic figures. What are parents going to do when their kids dump a 8"x12"x3" box of nano-toys out on the living room rug? What is that -- like a billion pieces?

Yes! Teenagers!

What other class is as irresponsible as dictators, criminals and terrorists? :-)
