    I would like to gently remind readers of this list that there are
    fashions in politics, in law, in morality and in religion.  Some people
    describe these fashions as a pendulum that swings back and forth.

    As a result of these fashions, one man's criminal or terrorist is often
    another man's freedom fighter.

    Nelson Mandella is the elected leader of a nation.  In the past he was
    imprisoned as a criminal, for activities that the prevailing fashion
    labelled terrorist and subversive.

    The hackers who are presently being labelled criminal may be regarded a
    few years from now as early electronic freedom-fighters.

    I believe that it is a mistake to categorize or label people based on
    prevailing politics, law, morality or religion because I have seen that
    as governments change, so do the fashions.
