I'm not saying we should all use a safe, basic, maybe crippled system.
Millions of people need robust systems.
Millions more are savvy enough to stay safe.
Millions more can afford to become victims.
However, there are millions who would benefit from what the Net can 
provide, don't need robust systems, are not technically savvy enough to 
stay safe, and cannot afford to become victims. Many of them just want 
to email their grandkids and browse a bit.
There must be a way to keep the service economy pumping and keep those 
people safe at the same time.
No?
