Yes, if you quizzed Alice Spring residents about RECENT FATAL SHARK
ATTACKS on the isolated beaches closest to them and then asked how
prepared they would be to swim at beaches without SHARK-PROOF NETS, the
results would be analogous.

Perhaps this survey show that the more you know about the Internet and
maybe filters, the less you are scared of the Net and the less you like
and/or the less you feel protected by filters.
