"Kill the Internet" ... "Roger That!"

SEE HERE Who is "killing the internet" going to defend us from? The government is increasingly looking like a bunch of power mongers afraid of their constituents. Maybe they missed the part about "they work for us", you know, "servants of the people." Instead they seek increasingly to become our masters. That is exactly why the framers sought to limit the powers of the federal government. Centralized government always seeks to increase its power until it becomes a tyrant. The founders put lots of checks and balances in place to deter that outcome, but over the years we've tended to remove them or reduce their effect to achieve greater efficiency or greater democracy or some other "greater" [nice sounding word] that we desperately need. The best thing the government could do for most of us, is leave us alone and get out of the way. We don't need government for much and for what little we do need them for they tend to do poorly while bragging all the while about how much we need them and how indispensable they are. Who has time to argue with them? Most of us have a lot better and more interesting things to do.
