Catch22,

Communication: for my money, that’s one of the best things about the net/web. How else, in any practical, reasonable sense could people in Australia, Canada, and the United States engage in a conversation? The cross-pollination that occurs here, and at countless sites like this one is an idea that I find energizing and exciting.

To the rulers of closed societies, China, Burma, and the like, this interchange of ideas is very threatening. Look what happened to the Soviet Union once Perestroika started.

I’m very romantic about this, but I’m sure that by me hearing opinions from you and Sugarsprinkles, Sharni and way22hot, I’ll be better able to work though the various problems that will come my way – whatever they may be.
