Our govt is trying to sterilize the Internet. If it can over-regulate it and provide an environment for big business to make money off it, and possibly impart its use as a sterilized utility, money can be made, power can continue to be centralized and power can remain in the hands of those who already have it. They are panic stricken with the notion that every Senator has a VCR with 12:00 falshing and they have heard dramaticized stories about the things that occur on the Internet. Does the word hysteria ring a bell? No? How about the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast that NOBODY questioned and sent cities into a localized hysteria. A little knowlege is a dangerous thing. And believe me our Reps have very little and they are therefore very dangerous. ___________________________M____________________________ ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~ Posted by Andrew Oram - •••@••.••• - Moderator: CYBER-RIGHTS (CPSR) You are encouraged to forward and cross-post messages for non-commercial use, pursuant to any redistribution restrictions included in individual messages. ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~
