I miss outlaws. Like, bandit queens and bank robbers and highwaymen and such, especially the sort with an explicitly revolutionary bent. I don't know exactly what happened, but our society sure as hell did SOMETHING to clamp them right out of existence (electronic cash transfer and universal surveillance sure haven't helped) and I wish we had a way to bring them back. Because there are sure as fuck some people who need to be robbed.

Tangentially related: Where are the politically motivated hackers taking on the megacorporations? Why do we get the people out to steal personal information and commit credit fraud on private individuals instead?

"Sneakers" was supposed to be accurate, damnit!

Last I checked, Snowden was in Russia.

@zebratron2084 we should bring back highwaymen as part of bringing back coaching inns, tricorns, flintlocks and side-swords. Yep.
