Saving the Net

Posted by michael on from the great-american-pastime dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Doc Searls, editor at Linux Journal, has a very insightful editorial that brings it all together - the FCC media consolidation ruling, SCO vs. Linux, why broadband is under attack by telcos and cable systems, why we lost Eldred vs. Ashcroft, what's really interesting about Howard Dean's presidential campaign, and a very astute observation about the vast gulf between Liberals and Conservatives."

    "This was part of what the internet was all about: democratizing the ability of an individual outside the established powers to enter into competition or publication or public recognition. "

    No, actually it was to facilitate the sharing of physics papers.


    Nice pedantry from someone who doesn't know the difference between the Internet and the World-Wide Web.

    That has to be the most FUD-ridden article I've ever read. I thought Slashdot was for news, not liberal rantings. Or are they now one and the same?

    So that Bush can stomp the little socialist into the ground. Howard Dean is an arrogant little fool, who is only a tool for the Clintons. He will insure that the Democrats lose in 04 to set the stage for Hillary in 08.

    For Republicans, nothing would be better than for Dean to go against Bush. Dean will make McGovern look like a winner. The Gay Marriage issue alone will keep him from picking up a single southern state, his remarks about the Military will lose him even more.

    Go Dean!
