Searched but didn't see this previously posted.

Yet another avenue of attack for those who want to stifle opposition in creation of their dystopian police state.

Gee how would you have ever stopped Al Gore inventing it? (lol)

Does he allow his wife to drive and talk with friends? Our does his desire for control just cover the world outside his home?

I understand his concern....sort of like Al Capone hating the IRS.

Australia’s Vast, Scattershot Censorship Blacklist Revealed

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/19/2321259

Australia’s secretive Internet filter blacklist held by its communications watchdog has been leaked, revealing the government has understated the amount of banned Web pages by more than 1000.

He agrees it was a stupid thing to say. It was nearly as stupid when he e-mailed the democratic plan to destroy Bush out to everyone.If it hadn’t been for the major networks running cover for him, this tool would already be history. This is one more example of why we need to use this medium to expose these tools.

[Lorianne]

Not really what he said. He said [paraphrasing] ‘perhaps it would have been better if the internet had never been invented’. Subtle difference ... wishful thinking perhaps.

[Leg Olam]

I think he means that the internet should only be used by ‘people of quality’.
A true chip off the block from old John D. I’d sure be grateful if he flipped me a dime for a shoe shine.

Yeah Rockey keep the pubic ignorant so you thieves can take over the country..Sorry you lose we won’t let that happen..I think if you want to do something good you should keep that ignorant VP and his pal BO locked up so they can’t make you look like the fools you are..

[BusterBear]

The Internet started out as a means for scientists in the Defense Department and the universities to share and discuss their research (the ARPANET).

So maybe he would prefer the carrier pigeon and the pony express?

Freedom of association and free flow of information has always been deadly to tyrannies.

No wonder Rockerfeller doesn’t like it.

[cubreporter]

Ahhh...but it was and by the illustrious Al Gore. Ha,ha. It’s great it was invented...it has given the public an insight as to what has been going on behind our backs for years. No longer, Jay. The public sees and remembers. We are ALL aware now. Kinda scary huh? I’d LOVE to see them talk censorship of the Internet. They think they have problems now with the public and tea parties and the like. NO ONE wants to see the Internet go.

[Reagan Man]

Ultimately, this has as much to do with government control of the internet through a series of taxes designed to raise revenue as it does with censorship. However, silencing free speech, especially political free speech, is a major goal of the liberal establishment and what motivates the lefts ongoing activism.

[Joe 6-pack]

Rockefeller only wishes he could burn the internet...

...ideas can be such dangerous things...

Good luck getting *that* genie back in the proverbial bottle!

It’s a shame the good people of WV have two of the worst senators.

[Charlespg]

Wasn't he the idiot who made the statement”Americans don't know whats good for them” during the bubba years?

What a waste of skin and air.
