I remember the first time I and a friend tried to surf the web for sites on topics of history. All we got was endless lists of pRon sites. No doubt there are people who would want to restrict pRon, but they don't seem to have had any effect, or even induced the US government to try. As for the sort of political persecution Tunisians would face, and which people in other places like China do face (thanks a whole heap Yahoo) no such thing exists in the USA. Even the twits at DU are not afraid to spew their bile even though they could be tracked down by any moderately efficient secret police, of the type they fantasize exists in Bush's Amerikkka. The people who whine about tyranny in America would not have the courage to open their yaps if this was the sort of country they pretend to think it is. The UN is a cesspool not only of corruption but of enabling tyranny and genocide. Those are the last people to entrust significant responsibility to. Give administration of the internet to the UN and the whole thing will end up like China's, at best. Most likely it would collapse because the bureaucrats there had skimmed off the money meant to buy more servers to meet the demand. This is one area where the US ought to have the unequivocal moral high ground. That won't help of course, because Kofi and his pals are looking to help out their tyrant chums, not enable free information flow. In this matter you've got the choice between the USA and tyranny. Which way will you vote? If you are talking about pRon Ben the internet is rife with it. I remember the first time I and a friend tried to surf the web for sites on topics of history.
