The Dichotomy of the Web

dichotomy in anything is usually a cliche...but usually true.

I watched dateline tonight and they caught some really disturbing and scary people: Online Sexual Predators of children.

Why!! why does this exist in society?

When the world is at your fingertips, why do people dive into pornography, hate, crime, drugs, and predation?

It is truely sad, both limiting the positive potential of what great things can be done online as well as making luddites in a generation of technology, information, and communication, not to mention the obvious emotional and physical damage to the children and families.

It is great to know that there are groups out there that are taking action, namely http://www.perverted-justice.com which is a group of people who guise as young teenagers and expose the online predators.

here is the dateline blog with the information about tonight's show:
