[ARC5] On Hacking

[Geoff]

Well, our government destroyed thousands of vehicles that would now be 
considered highly prized classics yet I hear little complaining.

They also forced shops to remove the short wave capabilities of home radios 
from many loyal Americans who just happend to be immigrants from countries 
we were at war with.

I really didnt feel guilty modifing wartime radios.
