Wow, imagine that, a network where people could exchange information
as easily as typeing a letter.  Maybe they will even be able to
implement it internationally.

Although some bad can arise from this new network.  If subversives had
access to it, they could easily spread their nasty propaganda.  

If it became entertaining, nobody would watch TV anymore.  For this
reason, I think a nation-wide computer network could only hurt the
country.  I vote we stop this madness before it propogates anymore
momentum and becomes the mainstream viewpoint.
