Herman Melville in Moby Dick describes the OCEAN as I do now of the INTERNET which is often praised for its multitude of virtues. Melville warns, “these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the oceans skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.” In today’s times, we cannot simply allow our innocent Hansels and Gretels to figure out on their own, how to push the predatory cannibal into the boiling pot. We must be like Ishmael, protagonists all in our own modern tale of vigilance and courage. Our children’s security is on the line and their joy and their upkeep our very solemn responsibility.
