The Internet and the pursuit of democracy

MANIFESTO

All government, of course, is against liberty.
— H.L. Mencken

If, in fact, the US really sanctions the phenomenon of "a global phase of extreme turbulence in which the bottom-up forces of a networked world battled the top-down hierarchies of centralized power," then the notion of limiting Net neutrality is counterproductive.

If Boehner and his cronies are serious about allowing only the free speech they think is appropriate, then more Libyas and Egypts seem unlikely.

It's the same old same old: Our revolution was ok, but for other countries, the idea isn't so appealing.
