...just goes to show the power of the net.

They (society's authority figures) used to fear that giving teens free condoms in high school would lead to more teen sex, and thus, more teen pregnancies. This was easily refuted by the fact that we give them free books, yet they don't seem to be any smarter.

But give a kid a modem and look out.

What's worse, IMO, is a highly-specialized version of net addiction known as &#147SI addiction&#148. I don't surf the net as much as I used to&#151but I still spend way too much time on these damn threads. Seems to affect a lot more than just kids. <g>
