Humdrum Conundrum (Score 1)

I just cannot understand why anyone is shocked by this 'struggle'. As a representative democracy, the US is enternally in danger of 'losing it all' to one faction or another. Given, in our day, it's the money concentrated in corporations which buys legislation. Money was always supposed to buy legislation, it's a fact, but in the agrarian days, the concentration wasn't as serious and the representatives weren't professional. It's facile to shrink this down to government versus 'us,' censorship versus First Amendment. Moving around the Net, downloading news and p0rn, has little or nothing to do with the First Amendment. It's the liberty clauses in the 5th and others which we should be invoking. And then the conundrum... Right now, vast tracts of the Internet are OWNED by massive corporations, which do not have to legally bind to any clause of liberty or speech. Placing the international considerations aside, wouldn't it take a greater government involvement to 'liberate' these lines and subject them to Constitutional tests? In other words, a better question to ask is, where does Government belong on the Net?
