This is wrong. I think it is absurd to see the
condemnation of illigal activity as condoning genocide
- I do not condone genocide, I never will and I find
the whole point of condoning it ridiculous.

The problem I have is with the concept of breaking the
law. I sympathise with the case of making a mark to
stop genocide, but I cannot condone this activity.
What happens for example if a group see Linux as being
a bad thing - because they view it as bad, does that
mean they can resort to criminal bhaviour against us.
What I am saying is that there is no definition as to
what makes the use of criminal behaviour acceptable -
although many view a violation of human rights as
acceptable. Although I support the condemnation of
genocide, human rights breaches, racism, sexism and
other nasty aspects of human nature - where do you
draw the line?
