Absolute Power

How much do you rely on the Internet? Can you make it through your day without this tool? Senator Joseph Lieberman has introduced a bill, which just moved to the Senate floor, that will surrender total control of the Internet to the government. If passed, the government will have the power to shut down the Internet for up to four months under a "declared national emergency." The ramifications of this are staggering. First, it opens the door to absolute power over thoughts and ideas that the government deems innocuous. It gives the President the power to kill the Internet for a period of time, upon declared emergency. But what constitutes an emergency? If you never thought George Orwell's prophecy could come true, believe it, because you are living it. Big Brother is demanding that you think, act, and believe only what is in line with their ideology. And this shows just how far they will go to obtain that power. If you believe your government has the best in mind for you, you are deceived or are unwilling to see the truth. The only thing government wants is more power.
