1. True. Just a correction. It's the "internets". He's the decider.

2. Yes but the internets is beyond their control
so far. It hasn't gotten to the point of corpmedia TV...YET! That's why we need to retake the corpmedia AND insist on net neutrality NOW. But the latter is most important. It's how we all work together. I was just thinking today about how different my whole LIFE would be, and how different LIFE. PERIOD. would be, without "the internets." And I came to the conclusion that it would have been much BETTER for the BFEE and the corpmedia. So we gotta rely on the www.

3. They can't block these tubes, man
let them try.

They'll be like, a buildup or something. And then we'll need Drano.

5. Not worried about it
These same people passing our electrons are making a bundle on our business and are sending that money to candidates to complete the circle. The internet is big money and it cannot be stopped or even slowed down for fear of the backlash of the consumer.

6. What good is power if you don't use it because you're afraid to lose it?
I'm getting mighty sick of keeping the powder dry.

Che Guevara t-shirts because they thought it would look cool after seeing it on the internet.
