Why the Internet is like your Grandma's old party line

Whenever any of y'all begin to doubt the power and scope of the Internet, consider Michele Catalano's son DJ. She posted a story about some problems that DJ was having with a bully in his class. Before you could say "back over the kid with an SUV", DJ was a cause celebre. I don't think even Michele could have anticipated the response she received, much the play DJ's story has received.

This is the sort of thing that makes me look forward to "The Next Big Thing" that the technology gods will bring us. It's nice when you see this sort of power used for good. Just remember, DJ: today's bully is tomorrow's inmate.
