Comments on: Irrational hatred of the Internet http://stilgherrian.com/politics/qotd_20090827/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

I've heard far too many stories from people who've been affected by abuse as a child, of various kinds. I'm truly disgusted when I see the picture being distorted to score political points or to make a buck flogging a product that'll magically solve some largely-imagined problem. It also disturb me to see the term "family-friendly" being turned into some... but no. I'll stop there. For today, anyway. @yewenyi: Agreed.

It saddens me when we have to hide from the grim reality of it all when we look for scapegoats like the internet.
