   Example:You being a big shot or just someone who has upset others..Are   
   cruising along in your self driving car..watching opera, When a paid   
   assassin hacker in Amsterdam hacks you vehicle and you suddenly find   
   yourself air born over the grand canyon, descending at terminal   
   velocity. Just another fatality due to a computer glitch.

   It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard   
   the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all   
   ages who mean to govern well, but *They mean to govern*. They promise to   
   be good masters, *but they mean to be masters*. Daniel Webster
