    Default The plot against the Internet

    http://www.politico.com/story/2012/1...net-84468.html
    "Bureaucrats from around the world will gather behind closed doors in Dubai next week to plot an end to the Internet as we know it — or so Washington would have you believe.

    Hill lawmakers warn that the 120-plus U.S. delegation needs to fend off efforts by China, Russia and developing nations to use a United Nations branch organization to censor or tax the Net. Google is orchestrating an online petition drive, and even Grover Norquist is involved."

    One tends to wonder how many "conservatives" share the op's panty-wetting terror of the omnipresent "other".

    Luckily, not many.
