And combine it all with an amero-centric focus and you piss off the rest
of the connected world. The fact that the 'internet' is not an american
property for american legal/governmental controls hinders this
internet-policing idea to the utmost. Standards and such are the way to
get things into a workable mode accross all the borders in question. Then
again, perhaps the proposal here is for a cyber version of the UN?
