Dana Moore writes about the incompatibility between government and the philosophy of the internet.  He makes a good point about why the Internet would not have succeeded if born into the present environment of over-regulation. 

He closes by quoting the Declaration of Independence -- citing the people's right to abolish the government they create.  Doesn't he realize the PATRIOT ACT makes that a crime?

A friend of mine emailed me concerning this piece with the comment - "This is what people who really care about learning should do."

He's right.
