Enemies Of Free Speech Call For Internet Licensing

This lengthy article is worth a good read because, if there is any truth to it, we are being led inexorably to a state/world that is more and more scarily reminiscent of Orwell's "1984". The axiom goes (loosely) that knowledge is power and he that has the knowledge, has the power... So, the internet, which has IMO led to perhaps the greatest explosion ever of globally shared information and knowledge poses a threat to those who wish to have the power and hence, must control the information/knowledge. That governing bodies are out there that wish to regulate the flow of information should scare the living shit out of anyone that prefers a life of freedom than one of servitude...

Count me as a strong advocate of the former!!
