I've seen a few posts that wish the Internet had never been invented, ostensibly it's the reason people riot or people lose their jobs etc.  If history is still reliable then I believe that previous things such as Shays rebellion, The Whiskey Rebellion, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry and even the Revolutionary War, Boston Tea Party, and the Civil War must have had an Internet.  Going back farther, how did the mobs originate that demand Christ's life? 

History is replete with riots and rebellions as well as people unjustly prosecuted because of misinformation.  The Internet is just another tool perverted by some for evil.
