use the software you like the look of most, bend it to your own needs ( // 
is your freind) and redistribute your changes to the community ;-)

Use Aq's security and you get rid of one of biggest problems for php (and 
other scripts) the authors have not a feckin' clue about security.

evil-capitalist-pigs.com can use any software created under an open source 
licence thats what gives me (and other political members of the open source 
movement) the moral high ground.  They can use our effort but we can't own 
our own genes ;-)

but be aware that you are bound by the licence of the software you choose to 
use, evil-capitalist.com might what to use your software but so might 
hitleryouth.org and anarchists-r-us.org.  you can not discriminate on moral 
or political reasons.  This is why the open source movement is such a broad 
church, we can not discriminate on fields of endevour for example.

Thats the kind of disclaimer automatically attached to anything I say ;-)
