Hackers in Modern Imperialist America vs. Barbarians in the Holy Roman Empire

Presented at The Fifth HOPE (2004), July 10, 2004, 10 a.m. (60 minutes)

In the time the Roman Empire controlled most of western civilization, the barbarians were known as enemies to society - savages that lived in the frontiers of the empire that resisted control by the Romans. Today, as the United States moves forward with an imperialist foreign policy, a new enemy has emerged that is resisting the system from the outskirts of the socially accepted: the hackers.
