said by MTU:I use Google services. Free and so sweet. Like reality, we need to face the fact that a price is being extracted for the neat, free stuff. That old adage about 'selling your soul' comes to mind. Time to consider walking away from the Internet drum beat. I realize that the 70's was forever-ago, but it wasn't all that bad. If the Internet disappeared in a puff of blue smoke there'd be whines from the ignorant, pissed-off advertisers, and maybe, just maybe we'd have a return to real journalism and discussion beyond blog-shots. Just imagine.
It isn't the Internet that is the problem and getting rid of it will not suddenly fix the worlds problems (it would probably make the world a much worse place). It's the lobbyists/politicians that are causing the problems. I think you would see more improvements if they disappeared in a flash of blue smoke (or maybe gun powder smoke...).
