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.

I guess this is why Tom Jefferson is so out of favor now with most attention given to his behavior with his Black, Slave Mistresses and his revolutionary ideals only emphasized by wackos like Tim McVeigh.

I'd have to say the economic future for the EU is getting better. They will wield a massive economic interest in a corporate world run on profit. With the socialist government point of view and a united front, look out world. This will NOT be good for NON EU'ers, and MAY not be good for some EU'ers, but the days of them being an economic non-entity are coming to a close. The definition of super-power has shifted, and the lines of power have blurred. Soon ecomonic entities will be the true super-powers, and nationalist entities will be consumer, or if you are lucky customer bases to be exploited/tapped.
