Is there anything that is not somehow VC-istan's fault?

Please let me know if you think of something, so I can be sure to figure out how it is in fact VC-istan's fault after all.

There are lots, but none in michaelochurch's life apparently.

Please figure out a way to connect the rise of Islamist insurgencies with VC-istan somehow :)

I was actually half-joking. I don't actually believe that software engineers will have to work out of storage cells in 12 years. It was a Snow Crash allusion.
