Why don't you keep your anti-American comments to yourself?...


I dunno; I happen to agree with Mal that the ARPA/DARPA Internet _is_
one of the greatest weapons the US Military ever released. And, I don't
particulary see anything un-American about that statement.

As a weapon for freedom of thought and expression, as a weapon against
misinformation and disinformation, the Internet is unparalleled, and on
occasion its military creators probably regret the hell out of letting
everyone in the world get their hands on it. As John Gilmore wrote,
"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
