  •  There are a lot of us... (none / 0)

    in that particular boat boadicea. :-)

    This fight is a freedom of speech issue to me, and goes to the very core of my democratic belief system.

    •  Press, not speech (none / 0)

      Quibbling, but it's a freedom of the press issue.  
      What the corporate interests who back both R's & D's can't stand is that with the 'net everyone has a printing press.  That's why they're fighting this so hard and why the question of journalistic credentials has been a sidebar to lots of recent stories.  The safest position for individual freedom is to renounce journalistic credentials and let the consumer decide who has accurate, interesting and useful information.
