You are absolutely right about the Internet being developed for national defense! Please note, that is to say, NOT formed as a jobs creation project, but as the extremely important work addressing directly the nations defense!Amen Churchill.
Where is that dodge you attribute to Churchill Dr. Canuck? You mean, something that, was created for national defense and military purposes was to become so important in present day life? ARPNET came into existence from the brainchild of an MIT scientist. To his credit, none other than Al Gore suggested legislation to form a national educational net to become what is known as the ‘information highway’. Well guess what, had it not been for the brillance of that MIT visionary, and the unquestioned military and national defense application of the technology created by ARPNET, there would have been no technology available for Mr. Gore to propose legislation on. So it is better for YOU to understand how it came about Dr. Canuck, a program most assuredly steeped in the vile broth of the military and national defense, surely distasteful to your smug, self-satisfied self.
As for your mirth-filled put down of Magnaut, considering that the government wants to ‘regulate’ the internet, his sober admonition “keep government out of the net” is certainly reasoned and correct.
As MurphyHerself correctly points out, “Well, the internet IS faster.” Just as we would not accept what we can convey via the USPS to be subjected to governmental scrutiny or censure, this wonderful medium should receive the same sanctity, period!
