Frankly, I'd be less worried about silencing political opponents or critics of the government, and more about crony capitalism: a bigger corporation slapping around a smaller competitor or opponent by leveraging greater access to the government ($$$) to get their competitor or any organization that creates a problem shut down. IMO, this sort of thing creates real harm and can and does happen a lot more than government efforts to restrain criticism, at least in this country. -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
