The internet has a "light" side?

Sounds good considering our benevolent british government want to monitor our internet usage!

It's scary. I wanna hide under a blanket. Wait...is that blanket safe? I want another blanket!! Now I'm Googling...uh..oh..my blanket is glowing. Dammit! I want another blanket!! My computer is starting to grow...where is that blanket?? Now we're on the Internet. It's bigger than I'd imagined!! I need a bigger blanket!!

If only you knew the power of the dark side....

Internet, like many inventions, start out wonderful and useful and entertaining. However, you then have a bad side to everything. Sadly, the internet is one of those big oceans where some parts are beautiful and crystal (damn pornstar hyperlink!) clear... then you go a few clicks here and there and you are in some horrific, muddy, shithole of a place.

Just like reality!

Sounds good. People should be free to log into the net without intervention from anyone.
