Dr Cerf

Today I was listening to Vinton Cerf's near monologue for nearly an hour, although it was supposed to be a question and answer session. No wonder why he is the chief internet evangelist for Google, obviously in addition to being one of the 'father's of the internet', he is a persuasive speaker. Good things to know about him is that he is a supporter of strong encryption systems and he is against extension of CALEA to VoIP(whose implication means anything over the internet will be eavesdropped). His reasoning is simple and valid. One of the interesting projects that he really wants to do is a comic book on educating legislators on security issues. A comic strip model stripped away from all details so that people in the old school can understand issues that need to be addressed, but not so abstract that problem is no longer there.
I wonder what sort of comic model should be used to educate politicians in India about these issues when they tax ISPs because they sell light energy?
