n a speech using biblical and
Jewish references, the state's
chief prosecutor, Michigan
Attorney General Jennifer
Granholm, delivered a powerful mes-
,,
sage of the "paradox of technology
to a packed house at the Anti-
Defamation League/Michigan
Region annual meeting on Sept. 9.
Not only is the Internet capable of
giving a child in rural Michigan
access to the Smithsonian, it also
gives people filled with hate access to
each other, Granholm said.
"No longer is a hater forced to
keep his dark, rotting opinion inside
for fear of being exposed or isolat-
ed," she said. "That person now has
a smorgasbord of sites to choose
from, each with its own particular
kind of hate, and each with chat
groups where it is certain that the
venom spewed will be met with
applause."

The media are partly to blame for
fostering feelings of isolation in soci-
ety, she added. Television has taken
people off their front porches and
into their family rooms and dens,
away from their real neighbors, to
view "plastic neighbors that the net-
works have designed.
"Technology is at the heart of
what is good with the world and it's
brought the world much closer
together," she noted. "In hours,
Israel can have people using
advanced technology to locate sur-
vivors in the Turkish earthquake."
But the silver lining is not without
its clouds.
Technology is "also at the heart of
so much of what's wrong," she said.
"I think that extraordinary hate must
be met with extraordinary love. We
have to expect more from ourselves
and reach out beyond our own walls,
to bring dignity and respect to other
people. We have to live, love and
show respect for others everywhere in
a thousand daily small acts."
