Zero isn't evil, merely misinformed, ignorant, or infected with control
memes. The proper extropian way to make sure that nano doesn't get out
of control is to be one of those people on the forefront, and develop
your own nano, but nano that acts like an immune system, on the lookout
for out of control nano, and able to eliminate the cancer when it
occurs. Once you've seeded the earth with your T-cell nanos, then we are
all safe, and you will be our hero...;)
The best defense is a good offense.
