    Default UN agency calls for global cyberwarfare treaty, ‘driver’s license’ for Web users

    "Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."-Étienne de La Boétie

    Nothing new under the sun and most of us saw this scenario coming. Create a problem, i.e. a government-sponsored networking solution, and then conjure an excuse to control it after the solution is widely adopted. Maybe, the world needs more independent, commercialized "CIS" alternatives rather than one big government-sponsored network. Apparently, more and more BBS's, etc. will be making a comeback along with other alternatives. Now, how do we regain control of some of the FCC-controlled infrastructure?

    "The Internet is the biggest command and control center for every bad guy out there," he said.

    O'rly? Don't forget governments and supranational organizations like the UN. Play fair....

    I guess I just thought they fell under the definition of "every bad guy."

    I need an education in US history, from the ground up. Can you help point me to a comprehensive, unbiased, scholarly resource?

    Question: Can you lose this license if you are surfing while intoxicated? Or just for criticizing the governance and being deemed a threat?

    That's like the Devil calling God the enemy (ie. "Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis). Everyone who doesn't work for THEM is the enemy.
