I don't know.. maybe we should just gradually leave the USA out of the current Internet, vital services will surface in some other place. There could be a US governement controlled filth gateway between 'US-safenet' and the Internet. There are other important countries that have been more or less out of the net, without much harm to others. The US is re-inventing Soviet Union control policies, if we co-operate the politicians will make compromises -> we get the disease.. VesA
