So where have I been for so long?

It's a brisk day here in the Inland Northwest and Colleen is in the kitchen making chicken soup for Sunday dinner. I'm studying my graphics arts online classes and realized that I haven't updated this blog for quite some time. I do have something to say so I thought I'd get it down on paper so to speak
I'm absolutely stunned by the amount of child pornography that exists on the internet today. I had no idea that our collective society had sunk to such a level where videos and photographs of the most depraved behaviors exist for anyone with a limited amount of web skills can access it. Even with parental controls that are easily undone by our technological youth, the problem is in every country and area on this planet.
What's wrong with us. Does normal sexual activity confuse us to such a degree that we search out the absolutely heinous activities of child porn? I just despair that such a wonderful tool for communication and global healing is being used in this way. Oh well, let mankind get a hold of something and we will find a way to screw it up. The environment, endangered species, politics, religion.....
Anyway it's my responsibility as your Computer Tutor to point out this kind of thing so that you are aware that it's out there and you will came across it if you stay online long enough. The are organizations like RAINN www.rainn.org/(Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) and ASACP (Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection)http://www.asacp.org/page.php and many others that are trying to do something about this horrible situation.
Just be aware that it does go on and that it is a global situation that needs to be addressed.
Carry On Regardless
