I updated my post because the “Government” is really just people like you and me and I wanted to clarify that *most* of them are *not* crooks. I think that there are mostly good people in the CIA, FBI, NSA and so on, but there are also some double agents, religious zealots, control freaks and war profiteers who don’t care who dies as long as they make a buck.
Skepticism is good for the mind and I think an Internet full of hoaxes has contributed in a positive way to that, but I do see your point. It seems to me the solution is not to limit information, but rather to educate people. That happens naturally on the net. If some ides is BS, you can usually find that out on places like Snopes.com and so on.
In part, I agree that the government must hate the internet, because it’s far more difficult to get rhetoric to work unchallenged. However, I’ve noticed that the internet is filled with “yellow journalism” that spreads a lot of crap and must be bad for the mind. No one has to have any ethics behind what they post. I border on the belief that this should be controled.
One of my least favorite, and seemingly most quoted and/or inspiring sites on the net seems to be Rense.com. The site seems to be the birth place for all manner of invented ideas with the sources of information undoutedly being a nice shower or a vivid dream.
I have ideas about what drives such nonsense, but I won’t go on about it.
Anyway, you should get a message board. It would be a blast.

Hey Zeno!

You’ve made some good points!
