just absorb other people's ideas. One of Mander's four arguments is that
TV is destroying our political system. I would argue that as long as
internet access and content is free (other than hook up) the internet is
enabling freer and better political discourse. I would argue that the
internet is enabling "the people" in the form of bloggers, groups, etc
to have a political voice that could match those who cotrol TV. ...

Well, maybe, but we didn't stop Bush.
