VentureCharities.biz update ... Trust Me on this one

I've finally gotten a chance to update my website. I found a nibbler for the Nickel-a-Meal Campaign and figure it is time to clean house before all the fans and relatives come over for a visit.

In my update I quote extensively from Jeff Abbott's recent novel Trust Me. He bills it as a book "on the cutting edge of terror," in part because of how the bad guys use the Internet.

Personally, I have some problems with the way the collective engagement and connectivity elements of this tool are always portrayed as something just the antagonists get to us. Very seldom do real life heroes or heroines use this perfect tool of collaboration for socially just purposes and to organize a truly inspired super-power response to evil in all its form. Luke and Aubrey spend more time killing people and getting in fights or running from the law than they doing harnessing the power of participation!

My feeling anyway ... what you got to say about it all?
