Obviously you weren't paying attention to either the debate or what happened in Columbine. What those kids needed was to develop better social skills, not withdraw to the Net and learn how to refine their hate. I am not saying that the Net "does" that to people, but neither was George Jr. He was using that as an example of the social deterioration of our young people because they have such an easy escape. Soometimes it is good to have a fat lip. You always learn something from it. I don't think that running and hiding on the Net is anything other that cowardly. I am also not saying that the Net does that either, but people can have a one track mind. If things are really easy to get, they don't have time to hesitate. For example, if we sold hand grenades in supermarkets you would see allot more murders in the parking lot.
