Holy hell... what a huge step in the wrong direction...

First the UN, now ICANN... on the road toward the NWO - and you thought it was just a conspiracy theory. If you know anything about socialist/communist policies towards the use of the internet, this should bother you in certain ways... ways that do not tingle, but send shivers up your leg.

Between the "I know what's best for the world / I'll micromanage everything" socialist govs. in Europe and Asia, and the hate and destruction obsessed psychopaths in the Middle East, a free web will soon become just one more "good ole' days" story to tell our grandchildren.

You said it. ;/

Hows that Hope and change working for ya.
