They can't shut down the internet? Remember you said that. I guarantee that's exactly what they'll do.
They cant "shut down" the internet. It wont happen. The world would come to a crashing halt. They would be destroying the infrastructure that they themselves rely upon.

Finally, a voice of reason! You're absolutely correct- they cannot shut down the Internet, as a good percentage of the American economy runs on the Internet now. Politicians may be stupid, but even they understand that such an action would be suicide. I do believe, however, that they certainly will TRY to curtail certain sites. Even if they are successful, other technologies will take over, and continue. Once people have tasted freedom, they never go back to slavery.

I'm not sure there's anything we can do. I'm actually pissed off writing this. But when you look at what's going on with an attorney general thats got an agenda that's without precedent, we should be very afraid.
