In the wake of the recent arrest of a LU provost for seeking mom-and-child sex over the web, this PBS Internet Safety Workshop sounds like a pretty good idea.


(Lehigh Valley, PA) June 21, 2007 Rapidly advancing technology has it's pros and cons. It can allow us to work faster and smarter. But it can also pose great danger to our children.

In light of the ever increasing exposure of Internet predators, and the responsibility we have to keep our children safe, you are cordially invited to attend:

Be More . . . Tech Savvy is a free workshop hosted by WLVT PBS 39 to help keep children safe.

    I hear they are doing the workshop so you stop pulling back muscles Bernie. You took the comment "heavy lifting" too far and it clearly has to stop. The internet is simply dangerous to your safety.

    Please consider attending the workshop.

    LVDem, I love the comments, bad and good. I am so impressed by the diversity of opinions in our neighborhood, and those comments are what make blogs interesting.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
