Great quote (referring to MS Outlook):

"The root problem is mail clients which handle untrusted content in an 
insecure fashion. This is like dousing 75% of the population with gasoline, 
then placing match-confiscating personnel at the doors of all public 
arenas. The problem isn't the matches. It's the gasoline. "

Question with boldness even the existence of a god;
because if there be one he must approve of the
homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.

--Thomas Jefferson, Aug. 10, 1787
