The quote "It can't happen here" (referring to the US)
is probably correct in the current environment, and also
a warning.  I would suggest that "It should not be allowed
to be able to happen here" is a position that more should
seriously consider (aka the Presidential Internet Kill Switch).

Should the 2nd amendment be amended to read
"A well connected community, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people to
communicate via the Internet shall not be infringed"?

(I will now duck behind cover.....)
