Americans are deeply confused:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most Americans believe the government should do more to make the Internet safe, but they don't trust the federal institutions that are largely responsible for creating and enforcing laws online, according to a new industry survey.

People who were questioned expressed concerns over threats from identity theft, computer viruses and unwanted "spam" e-mails. But they held low opinions toward Congress and the Federal Trade Commission, which protects consumers against Internet fraud.

Count me in on the confusion. I'd like there to be Something Done, but I don't trust the guvmint not to go all Big Brother given the chance.

Pretty soon I'll be hiding out in the mountains with a shotgun in case the revenooers come sniffing around my Internet still.

Okay, that's sort of jaunty. Not sure it would be jaunty on Kevin Smith, though.

Vortex, I'm hurt! You've totally met me! Sniff...
