>Just look at the patriot act (mind you, passed by BOTH republicans and democrats) and you can see why the government shouldn't run any ISPs.

Just look at the FISA domestic spying indemnity for telecoms who broke the law bill, and it is clear your argument applies to both government and telecoms. I really doubt cable companies would have been any different.

Moot point unless the only way you do anything as root is through a shell in one of the virtual terminalsor xdm. If you ever give your root password in a logged in X session, or as your user (su or sudo) your machine can be compromised. su, bash, etc. can all be replaced with sinister versions, and the next time you su to root, your password is captured.
