Now if they could just stream the audio from the special forces in the caves, we would be set.

w00t! Of course, by the time this posts, I will be #23000 in line because all the other slashdottians like me will want first post too... Hrmm, then I will get (Redundant: -1). There goes my karma:-P
I agree wholeheartedly with your point about the corporate lobby-tanks. I ask myself the question, is this capitalism gone wrong? This question leads to my next point. I do not believe it is totally the people's fault that the corporations have grown so powerful. I think that the government, while trying to serve the corporations, forgets about everyone else. As for the "good things" the government tries to do that are denounced by the conpanies....If they were the government that theoretically had control over the corporations.....you see my point. I think either way, the government is serving the corporations (unfortunately). Now for the necessary disclaimer: I am not against capitalism in any way, its just that I see a corrupted form. Any ideas what to do about it??
The reason that people fear and dislike the government is because the government doesn't care about the implications of what they do. Remember, this is the government that passed the DMCA, is behind the FCC on the broadband mess, and is trying to pass the SSSCA. It is obvious that the government (1) Does not have any idea about technology and the internet (as previously stated) or (2) they don't care and they are looking for short term power and regulation. ICANN *may be* operating outside of its authority, but at least they are not the caniving senators who are trying to pass legislation inhibiting the growth of technology.
As for trusting the government more than companies any day of the week , how about trusting neither and using intellect to figure out what in the world is going on.
