How long, I wonder, before the John McCains and the NY Times of the nation try to stifle the internet. I suspect that, while pornography remains untouched, attempts will be made to monitor and shut down inconvenient internet sources in much the same way that the left is trying to control talk radio. Funny how the so-called defenders of free speech are always the first to try to shut up anyone who doesn't see things their way.

Yeah, but the beauty of the Internet is, you can put it on an out-of-country server and short of instituting a China-style filtering and blocking regime, there's not a concrete thing they can do about it for the near future. I'm not taking any bets for a few years down the line, though. Info-warriors will just have to get slicker and smarter and one step ahead of the gestapo.
