(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
You ought to check out this article by Thomas Friedman- Global Village Idiocy. Here's a snipet:
"There is another virus going around today, though, that's much more serious. I call it the 'I Hate You' virus. It's spread on the Internet and by satellite TV. It infects people's minds with the most vile ideas, and it can't be combated by just downloading a software program. It can be reversed only with education, exchanges, diplomacy and human interaction stuff you have to upload the old-fashioned way, one on one. Let's hope it's not too late. "
