When you have children, you raise them trying to shelter them from certain things. A few months ago at a playground my son encountered a young boy that was just mean. My son did not know how to respond, he had never encountered anybody like that before. You hope that people will be good and decent, but that is not always the case.

Why say this? I just read this post on Dave Winer's blog and it made me think about my son on the playground. I am not comparing Dave to my son, Dave can handle himself, but it was just one of those moments when you are reminded that not all people are nice.
