>> Im very surprised politicians didnt see the potential damage to them of the internet when Algore first invented it (ha) and seize control of it from day one!
My guess is, young-ish liberal-ish academic-ish types built the Internet, and they figured everyone that used it would be Just Like Them! and it wouldn’t be an issue.
Little did they (or the political left) realize that unlike most “broadcast” communication, the peer-to-peer nature of the Web makes it an amplifier of truth and logic, over time. The conservative ideology plays well in a forum that values truth and logic, whereas the leftist ideology, illogical as it is, doesn’t work so well here. (Or so I’d like to believe, anyway.)
Thanks for taking the time to comment and sorry to ping you to the wrong thread! I didn’t realize I was doing that at the time.
Just noticed that..ha
