1. that's why they want to privatise the internet tubes

to keep this out of view.

It is amazing how fast and far things travel now, and the ptb just can't understand how people are connecting.

I'm an old fart and don't twitter or tweet/facebook/but I do email the hell out of things.

Peace to you in South Korea.

2. Even if they do shut down the intertubes...

the WWW has provided a model for us. It'd be a pain in the ass, but we've got resources we don't even know we've got - wireless, multi-terrabyte HDDs, bluetooth, cellphones....

3. Yep,

I'm watching from southern Thailand. 'The whole world is watching.'
