In consideration of the events in Egypt, and the fact that Congress has
put an Internet "kill switch" back on the table; we the Geek community
have to ask ourselves what proactive measures are we going to take to
prevent the censorship of information in the United States?  I for one
believe that any government that attempts to prevent the flow of
information is evil.  By attempting to censor the news and information
the people of that country can receive it is then deserving of removal,
by what ever means possible.  That aside, we cannot make informed
decisions based solely on what the government wants us to see.  How do
we make sure they cannot blind and deafen us?
