Be ever alert ... Dan is right... governments, (especially the U.S.), are
working hard to find ways to grab a share of the internet boon. One
problem is that if they tax it, they take some responsibility for what goes
on over it and to do that, they need to moderate it. This last part is the
tough nut because no individual country has that right and our "leaders"
don't want to be seen as limiting freedom of speech. This may be the last
place of true freedom any of us will ever see. Fight for it, fight like
hell for it.
