What this article neglected to mention was, the obama administration is wanting the government to take over the internet, to appoint a cyber tzar, and monitor users and track the sites being visited. Imagine the information they will be able to gain: bank account numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, etc. This is the same government that lied to involve america in an illegal war and then proceeded to torture people, something also illegal, in order to attempt to make connections where there were none. Who knows, should that bill that is in congress pass, another few administrations and the american government may be the death of the internet.

This stuff is enough to make the most hardened atheist believe in Armageddon.
