Well, there is one thing you have to realize: You guys "there over the pond" you're so stuck in this freedom of speech thingie. Namely too many times I see the term taken _too_ literally. And the funny thing with it is that you can turn it anyway you like (like all stuff that became voided of meaning and is taken only literally -- see idiotic religious extremism): Child porn, hate groups, it's_my_constitutional_right_to_tell_you_to_rott_i n_hell.. They all excercize their "freedom of speech", right ?

Get fucking over it. Yes, like the Whole Wide World (heh.. joke, get it :)?), Internet is for everyone. But like a real society it gotta have a set of rules, guide of conduit, (de facto) morals, and so on.

The most notable thing Internet has done is that it brought us all together closer that we ever imagine. And forces us to get over petty differences and live just in another, larger and more dynamic society that _still_ hasn't got yet all the inherent "functioning rules" loud and clear for everyone to know and respect.

Yes, the guy is optimist. Yes, the guy focuses on the bright side. But the fact that we don't have yet everything straighened up it doesn't mean we should start whining "it doesn't work, let's kick it"...
