Old man winter let loose his grip today...to a point. At least it made it into double digits. I am really thankful for the internet today. I was sitting here looking at my list of friends that I have to chat with on Yahoo and I realized that all of them are friends that I had back in the day. If it wasnt for the internet who knows if I would still be in touch with them, let alone being blessed enough to chat with them any time and at will, for free.
I guess the internet isnt all about porn and spam emails from hell. It is pretty sad and disgusting that the biggest selling item online is online porn itself. I mean, sure, I have at times, looked at online porn but after really thinking about it, it is all pretty nasty and Im sure it has destroyed many families. I dont think porn should be "banned", but at times I think it goes too far online. But all in all, how do you police the internet and be totally effective anyways? Is that even possible?
over and out.

If I had to choose, I'd take the internet over television any day of the week. Sure, there's a few shows I enjoy watching and would certainly miss, but I'd much rather engage in online chatting, blogging, or gaming. I can also check my bank balance online as well as pay bills. The internet has changed the way I live for sure! :) And I totally agree with you Eric—it's been such an amazing way to keep in touch with friends new and old.
Well-written Eric, I agree. In review of you conundrum for it is one I share as well, I can only deduce that it is a blessing in it self to have a presence of mind clear enough to see those things that a harmful or destructive in our lives… However having the strength to stay away from them is a much larger blessing indeed. Negative crap aside I am even more thankful to have all the goodness the internet has to offer, such as reconnecting with friends, and in my book goodness always trumps evil.
