Don't worry man, Obama and the government love us and are only looking out for our best interests, sort of like a mother.
Warm hug for all
It's not like the internet exists solely in America...
Seriously fellas, your high-horse: get off it.
The government could potentially rain nuclear death down upon us at any moment. But are they likely to? Doubt it.
Same thing with the net. After all, how will Barry use his blackberry?

Eroding of individual rights over time has nothing to do with a nation suddenly nuking itself.<object height="344" width="425"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ct9xzXUQLuY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></object>

Individual rights? You think that'd be the only consequence? This is a little bigger than you not being able to check out your favourtie website. In fifteen short years our world has gone from saying "Inter-what?" to being wholly and totally dependant on the internet for trade and commerce. From personal banking to online business to e-trading, if you pulled the dotcom plug you would effectively destroy the world. Not hyperbole, not misrepresentation; demonstrable fact. You think the housing crisis damaged the economy? Compared to a net lock out it'd be like a bug hitting a windshield.
