Thanks. The Internet has the potential for truly changing the course of history on this whole planet. I believe it is the most powerful discovery since fire. I am totally sincere about this.

There is also the potential (slight as it may be) for it to become the tool of a planet-wide group of slave masters who control a subservient population that is too ignorant and too doped up to think about anything except where their next meal and pill is going to come from.

Therein lies the challenge, IMHO. It's really and truly "good versus evil", and I honestly believe that the good guys outnumber the bad guys in a very major way. I think it is probably already too late for the Forces of Doom to take control of the Internet. It's pretty cool. The future looks good to me.

All we have to do is spot the bad guys and tell them we've spotted them. Everything else will probably shake itself out in the wash.
