That Chilling Effect

We can speak to people anywhere in the world almost instantaneously. This gift is under threat as the entities that enable communication collude with our government. Our forefathers were right to put free speech first among our rights, because there should be a free exchange of ideas. It should not matter who you are if your thoughts are compelling. We need to maintain our anonymity in the face of a paranoid government. The next president must insure that this net doesn't snare us.
