Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for the truth that the Internet protects.

3. Internet
The internet is our only hope to strive to be well informed citizens that can think critically and participate in our national debate.

MSM is corporate Pravda bullshit and does not inform the citizens about all the things our government is doing. By design.

I think there will be a rising local ism as an answer to the unchecked corporatism of the last thirty years. I also think that as establishment news media continues to die, alternate media and the internet will grow as a source of HIGHER QUALITY INFORMATION that serves the citizens.

All MSM does is convince you to buy things and hide everything about how much corporations are screwing you and ruining millions of lives just for the sake of greed.

4. In 1989 a friend and I logged in to the university VAX system for the first time
Dial up. 100% Free access. Ahh, the good old days! :)

Even in its primative state, my first words were, "This is going to change everything". Looks like I was right.

It's probably the most important achievement in human history. Television isn't even close.
