A Private European Internet?

jakemk2 writes "Bill Thompson writing in The Register advocates a private European Internet to stop the fact that it has "been so extensively abused by the United States and its politicians, lawyers and programmers that it has become a serious threat to the continued survival of the network as a global communications medium" Read it here" His logical fallacy is , of course, thinking that the US has a monopoly on this kind of thing.

    For your information it was for everyone! It was the implementations that got off track.
    "that all men are endowed by their creator"
    Only women were not included in that definition and oversites like that is why they allowed for amendmants.
    The constitution was never meant to strike the word "god" or stop someone from publically declaring their religion either. It only said there would be no state religion and all religions would be allowed. That didn't get implemented correctly either, a supreme court justice who was a member of the kkk decided at the turn of the 20th century that "atheism" would be the state religion. We aren't supposed to look at race for hiring but white men get systematically shafted by our own federal government. Our government has been hijaked by liberal judges with absolute job security with no common sense and politicians on the take from special interests groups.
