The simple fact is this:  If you are so smart as to have devised a way
to run as root while invalidating every single point posted to this
list, you're a bloody genius and ought to fix your own problems.  That's
the simple fact.

In the world, it's a risk.  You are part of the world.  Hence, it is a
risk.  Numerous people have posted reasons why this is a risk.  It
doesn't make a damn difference to you, does it?  If you in fact are some
supergenius, then I'd suggest you find a way to make money off the idea.
 However, you won't, because it's insecure and blatently stupid.  The
whole idea that running as root is smart, is foolish.

If you truly think that you're smart enough to fly in the face of
several hundred, if not thousand, man-years of UNIX experience, then you
are either a fucking genius, or a bloody fool.
