Death of the Internet

Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:45 am (PST)

Please watch this video and respond in any way you can, below is a

copy of my letter I will be sending to everyone I can think of.

The internet is the greatest force empowering minority, and marginal

points of view to come along in centuries. In other words before the

internet the great establishment ideas already had the machinery of

media to communicate their positions. What has happened is the common

man has gotten into the game with a technology that was never intended

to fall into the hands of common people. Much like the advance of

writing, for centuries it was only the elite that had access to the

accumulated knowledge of mankind through the written word. Books were

not intended for common people, by controlling them through the

mechanism of affordability, and availability the elite consolidated

their power over the common people. I think the internet is analogous

to the invention of the printing press, in the dissemination of

knowledge to the common man.

By increasing our learning abilities, and expressions of free speech,

we are advancing our civilization much as we did during the age of

enlightenment. To restrict the internet in any way is a step backwards

much like the book burnings of the past, an attempt to control the

progress of human thought in any direction that is not considered to

be in line with the position preferred by the people with the ability

to control it.

By limiting the internet we are inhibiting our ability to think

freely, and stifling our creativity. To do this for the financial

benefit of a few companies and their stock holders, and to the

detriment of society, would be criminal. It would also create a

mechanism for governmental entities to control opinions of the people

by controlling the information available to them, offering methods to

control elections, and governmental processes.

We cannot allow this intrusion into the evolution of the human mind

and spirit. The dissemination of information through the internet

should be protected by the Supreme Court, as a vehicle of free speech.

The internet is in process of replacing newspapers, books, and several

other media's, to restrict it in any way would be to restrict free

speech, to a degree that has not been possible since the dark ages.

Please do anything, and everything in your power to resist this

attempt to profit by selling out one of our most basic inalienable

rights. Greg Pollak, Las Vegas, Nevada
