Interwebs is good for Burma

The internet can be good and bad in political situations. The possibility of doctoring images (see Hezbollah for blatant examples that were published in AP an Reuters) is very high. I think that it is great that people can publish information. You have to be weary of who/what sources you trust, but it is great that the governments can not silence the people.

To end with some humor? I used to do this when I was growing up, and I am no worse for it! Rubbing alcohol and tennis balls leads to an interesting game of 'hot potato'.
