Re: [ga] here we go...

Oh please forgive me SS,

But let me respond to this neophyte of political restraint.

1.    One Gov. dictating use of the net against 99% of all others is bad.
2.    Restrictions based solely upon the use of the net is bad. (you can do
this off the net but on it is illegal?)
3.    Extending Bobby Kennedy's use of the "wire" to stop the gangster's
sports betting is way wrong.
4.    Freedom of speech on the net should not me dictated by one conservative
Republican Rep. out of Virginia.

Irregardless of ICANN's inneficacy, until the mold is broken Congress or
whatever group should stay out of regulating our internet.

What the latest FTC ruling and WIPO should teach us is that government control
of our net should be confined to common law notions of right and wrong, and
they should stay the heck out of the business of trying to understand the
likes of you.

Peace be upon all of you, let your children rest well in the knowledge that
you will protect them.
