: *Yes. Teach people to think, not what to think. But I don't hold high hopes for the net. When television first emerged it was lauded as THE great new educational tool. Now look at it.
: What's the number one query word on all search engines?
: I don't think they mean sex education.

And here I thought I over-generalized.

The net is much like meatspace in many ways: full of the good,
the bad, and the indifferent. I really couldn't say where
you'd could go to get perfection--that oh so subjective
of terms--at all times.
