He who controls the "pipes", controls the internet. If the government wants the internet down, it'll be down.

It's NOT turning it off that is the problem. The REAL threat to free speech is that those who try to practice it, are banned, simply deleted and their posts go with them. The liberals make such a fit over "he said this or that" that the operators cave and censor. Liberals have no argument and thus must stop ALL rational discussion. We're being snookered and we're going to lose our culture and our culture if we don't stop it.
