I think back to the time before the Internet
Edited on Thu Dec-02-10 08:55 PM by RegieRocker
and I myself have benefited greatly from it. Most of what is waking people up today is from the internet. If we lose it we go back to unenlightenment and being snowed.

2. Lose it? How would you lose it? You should keep your internets in a very safe place.

9. i agree with you. grammar goof aside. the internet has given us equal access to info
that the msm does not want to give us. it is important it stays that way.

10. "News" wasn't the crap fest it is now, though.
When we read our news daily from newspapers and magazines, when we listened to news on radio or watched it on TV, we got real news. We got investigative reporting.

Now, we get articles written by people who don't know anything about the topic on which they write. The internet provides quantity, but little quality.

Still, it's better than having news controlled entirely, with no ability to talk about the reality of our world.
