| Consider the stereotyping of motorcyclists in the news. The media is quick to report gang wars or criminal acts of a minute percentage of bikers, but when was the last time you saw the media report on a family motorcycling across America. Or a parent spending most of her time at a motorcycle rally fishing with her daughter.
The media is doing the same thing to the internet community. Stories of horror and sex are constantly reported. But have you seen a segment on a child successfully searching the Net to obtain information for a literature essay? Or discussing ballet classes with another child thousands of miles away?
My children and I have toured far-away places, viewed the greatest of art, and met many wonderful people -- all of which would have been impossible without the Internet in our home. Please help preserve this gigantic avenue around the world.
And now, see what my 14 year old daughter, Harley Lady's Kid, has to say about this mess!
