Holy terabytes! This is insane! The president in control of the web? That is unbelievable!
Oh, but it's true. Well, it's not so much true as it is a plan that is doomed to fail, but...You get my drift. Yes sir, we can certainly smell what Barack is cooking. It smells like something you wouldn't wanna eat.
Here is the deal: Our "beloved" president is proposing a bill that will effectively give him the ability to shut off the internet. It is a fairly ludicrous scheme as this would most likely damage the US more than help it. The way I see it, people use the internet to communicate more often then they do with their bodies. It is a quicker and efficient way to keep up with that friend that moved to New York. It is also a better way to stay informed. News websites exist for that purpose.
For Obama to just up and say something like, "I need power over something beyond the extent of my reign because it will help us in times of emergency," is just senseless. Last time I checked, we use internet for numerous things that help us during hard times. if you recall the history of our own fine country, the internet was originally created by the Department of Defense for government usage. Go figure. Now, if we shut it off, what is the point of having it?
Not to mention that the internet is way out of your reach. It isn't called the World Wide Web for shits and giggles. It really goes world wide. Herpaderp.
Anyway, the whole deal with this is something I would rather have you read from another source then have me skew the information if I do. So, here is a link for you to read.

I suppose since you came back to the blog after the news article, you care enough to read more. Well, that's all for this post, but I should have more to come.
Until next time!
