Prospect theory, game theory, heuristics, and other stuff about security

My pal, Greg Girkin, thinks this is an interesting paper, and I agree. It's long but it doesn't use much, if any math, to talk about the circumstances under which people are willing to trade liberty for security or vice versa.

I know a lot of history. And I'm learning more and more mathematics all the time. I'm thinking about changing my name to Harry Selden.

Oh, and if anyone cares, I was pleased to see that Dwayne McDuffie had sense enough to know that Reed Richards was acting seriously out of character during Civil War.
