[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 512012, member: 2189"] When we earlier discussed the "Fairness Doctrine" in this forum, I post some links concerning the fact that last year Henry Waxman and other democrats in Congress discussed this very issue of regulating the internet. If Congress decided (and at some point I think they will) to re-institute the "Fairness Doctrine" I do believe the internet will be a part of that process. The idea of any single party or group controlling social thought and the discussing of ideas such as on talk radio no matter at what relevance that discussion may have in society seems a true wasted effort when you leave the internet an untapped resource for these people to run too. Truth be told, I'm betting good money (and I don't gamble) that both parties would love to shutdown a lot of the independent internet. Any time some rogue 3rd party appears on the political scene, the demonrats and republicons come out of the woodwork to circle the wagons. I truly believe the so-called "red scare" was more about protecting voting turf from rogue socialist/communist and maintaining tight control for the 2 party system rather than some so-called international communist conspiracy. If the internet comes to be seen as an absolute threat to the hubris power of the demonrats and republicons from 3rd party rogues and political thought revolutionaries, you can take it to the bank, they will take control of the net!
