IMO, Anonymous, in the parlance do indeed 'rock'.

All cultures have tales of a Robin Hood. All around the world people love stories and movies where someone or many someones take on the bad guys and win. They appear in popular cultures when the governments, kings or queens, cartels, banks, Wall Streets of the time suppress or otherwise control the masses for personal gain, forgetting that the masses enable the 'powerful' to enjoy opulent or grandiose lifestyles.

I see Anonymous as a modern, cyber world response to a similar situation worldwide.

Facebook, touted as a social media site has been very slow for years in responding to identity theft, and because they had a corner on the market they did little to rectify the various situations that caused real people in the real world both harm and damage. I hope that FB is taught a lesson in manners and responsibility on November 5, and that Anonymous follows through and is successful in its mission to free their member from the cartel in Mexico.

If I had hacking skills I'd be with Anonymous. They have fought some bad people/institutions over the years, and I think they deserve a standing ovation from so many of us who have indirectly benefited from their work. I do not perceive Anonymous to be anarchists, a word meant to slime them. I do perceive them to be basically good folks on a serious mission, and a worthwhile one at that.
