Regulating The Internet A Matter Of Time

What fascinates me is how people who build their wealth freely or in an industry that was at one point or another free of state intervention, turn around and then turn all governmental on the rest of us?

If the government gets its hands on the internet it'll be the greatest shill game yet. It's not a matter of "if" but "when." If they're talking about it then they're scheming to further control you. This time it won't be under the guise of "saving costs" or something but to protect us from our web misbehaviors and, well, national security. There's always an excuse to expand forms of tyranny. Too bad people just can't get too excited over these things.

I mean, these are the same dolts who want to arrest (and in some circles execute) Julian Assange.

Despotic tyrants. Every single one of them.

Paf! Whack! Bif! Shlock! Shlack!

Oh, sorry. Right. It has to be beaten into me every once in a while. It's for the "betterment" of mankind and for my own good.

I apologize for my insolence and ignorant stab at independent thought. I kneel before you...Leviathan.

If taxes were increased back then, those short-sighted morons could have saved the Kraken! 

Speaking of which...observe the picture. That's what excessive government (not government itself as an overall entity but constant intrusion) regulation is capable of doing: Capsizing free enterprise and free flow of innovative ideas.

Personally, I think the ship has already sunk. When you put an 80 year-old barber out of business for an expired barber license forcing him back to school, you know you're sunk. Check it out at SE. It's for true. In Oregon. No one factors in the negative consequences of such actions not just on an economy but on the population.

For cutting hair!

What part of leave people alone don't we grasp anymore?
