Take back the internet from big media - quiet crusaders

Bearing video cameras, laptops and cellphones, a small army of young activists flooded into a recent federal meeting in protest.

Members of public-interest group Free Press weren't there to support a presidential candidate or decry global warming. The tech-savvy hundreds came to the Federal Communications Commission's hearing at Harvard Law School last month to push new rules for the Internet.

For the first time, Congress and the FCC are debating wide-reaching Web regulations and policies that would determine how much control cable and telecommunications companies would have over the Internet. The issue has given rise to a new political constituency raised on text messaging and social networking and relies on e-mail blasts and online video clips in its advocacy.

  • Since the public media has failed to remain true to the goals it was established for, the internet is the last hope of a free society. The regulations proposed by government on the internet will only add fuel to the fire of a riot looming in America. The voice of oppression is a riot, and as the summer heat hits this country, so shall the riot-like voice scream for freedom. My recommendation to the public who will participate in this riot is head for 1600 Pennsylvaina Avenue and storm the castle of corruption standing before them. The bush regime must follow in the footsteps of the russian czar, louie & marie antionette, baby doc of haiti and the marcos regime. The masses must teach the few greedy the error of their ways. To describe the bush/cheney regime is one word, sinister!!!

  • I love the word sinister to describe the bush/cheney regime.

    That is exactly what they are sinister souls.

    I also could picture the whole guillotine thing being played out on the lawn.

    Thanks for your post lots of good visual imaginings.
