"You've mentioned this quote several times. I'm not sure what about it so bothers you."

Yes. I have mentioned it several times. I mentioned it this time because tw had picked up on the "fed storm trouper" tone; which was never my thrust. My issue is with the health and safety of children.

"There are other ways to protect kids. You can keep them in a bubble, after all."

There is a whole rich universe of things that we can to that involve measures designed to contribute to child health and safety. The "bubble" comment is about your attitude and not about any of my postings on this topic.

" I don't see that there's anything about the internet as a venue that changes that paradigm any more than the invention of the light bulb or the automobile or the television changed that paradigm. It changes only the particulars."

That is true and I would agree with your comment that education is one of the "best ways" not the "only way." It seems that you, like the director, feel we need to pick one thing and call it resolved. The Internet is becoming almost a parralel society to 3D. It is my contention that it needs to have the same societal checks and balances that the 3D world does. That is what I have been saying in many ways...Obviously you read the post you are responding to; but feel free to continue returning to the "fed storm trouper" rant. It seems to be moving the discussion nowhere, but you must have a reason for that.
