My friend, theCL, has great post about how the government is trying to impose on yet another aspect of our lives by interfering with bloggers.
Here's the beginning of the post. FTC to Regulate Blogs: Will there be a Blog Czar?
In yet more news of government insanity ... Under the guise of "protecting" us gullible American consumers from the reviews, recommendations, and advice of "amateurs," the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is planning to commandeer the blogosphere!
Of course we all know better ... considering the federal government's constant maneuvering to control political speech via Fairness Doctrine, localism, and whatever else they dream up ... this move represents the vampire's first foot in the door, and we all know what happens next, don't we? Not only can the vampire come and go as he pleases, but he's going to suck your blood dry too.Competition in the arena of thought is the mortal enemy of our State Leviathan. Alternative free media like blogs, means more opinion from outside the State/Corporate Media Establishment is available. This makes it increasingly more difficult for them to continue their lies. Add to it the networking and community building of the blogosphere, and Twitter's rapid spontaneity ... and you realize the State has a serious problem!

I wish more people would start taking the reality of tyranny more seriously. The country we live in today is radically different than the one our ancestors fought for and built. In fact, our government today, is profoundly more authoritarian than that of King George III.
Sad. But true.
