GAW -“I agree that “the net” is not the only place, but it is one in which people can make a real difference.”
The only thing that will make a “real” difference in the community is if the Rabbonim get behind the issue. I’ve seen many problems in the Frum community due to ignorance. The way to stop ignorance is to educate them. People on the Net tend to be more educated than those who aren’t.
So how do you educate people Not on the Net, (due to Frumkeit)? You have the leaders educate them.
Just a few examples of ignorance that I’ve seen:
Not e/o in a car being buckled up.
People talking on cells during driving.
Not vaccinating children.
Not wearing helmets, or other protective gear, while bike riding or other sport activities.
Lack of basic fire & burn safety.
