It is a double-edged sword. Where, on the one edge, a free society is based'
on the ability to have unfettered access to information of our choosing, on
the other edge, a free society's longevity is linked to common experiences,
common goals and common understandings, which requires some connection to common information.
In an event centric - and an increasingly nano-second world - isn't it even more important for those with a crucial message - like access to the Internet - to find ways to bind themselves with large events that already have big audiences? (Note the military has not lost the importance of same; thus taxpayer financed flyovers at the Super Bowl - all to large applause.)
What are WE doing to piggyback our message to such events? What Big Name Messenger carries our cause to the kingpins of very large events?
If money is the primer - and who can say that it is not? - which among us has a puncture proof theory why increasing access isn't good for the bottom line?
