@poosaypirate...Maybe most people do use the internet I don't know but Obama & others are pushing for ways to shut down/control the content users have access to through Internet Kill Switches,etc. I am crying about nothing just trying to inform because information is power. And what will happen if those seeking to shut down/block information they see as a threat succeed, like the Chinese government does with their internet content?

@poosaypirate...How many American's pay attention to the important things that are happening all around them? Yet they ignore the information when presented with it i.e. 9/11& all the other lies surrounding that event that have led us to The Patriot Act,etc. It's not a sweeping generalization but a fact that must people are paying no mind to the world outside their lives. Neither am I apathetic, self loathing, or Gothic. If it's 'child behavior' to be concerned & inform others then I'm guilty.

@Beowulfsonur ok it wasnt an open invitation for sweeping generalizations of the entire population of an excess of three hundred million people on the basis of national origin but more a suggestion.

NOR was it an open invitation for Apathetic self loathing Gothic child behavior either. the seven companies you speak are are probably all owned by one larger company anyway. on the other hand, nobody believes them as a result anymore anyway so what are you crying about. we now use the internet

@poosaypirate...Amen may the truth rise. Things would be a lot better if the majority of American's were awake to the real reality which will never be on the news because all the news including cable are owned by 7 companies! They all are liars & it shows in their low ratings. The internet is where you'll find the truth that's why the government/Obama wants killer switches. All the presidents since Kennedy have been bought & paid for dishonest pricks! So is most of the Congress & Senate.
