Fewer decapitations? Damn!

I find that this way of learning provides a much better education than what one gets at the so called education institutions. I know that Jon will agree with me on this point because he educates his daughter at home. IMHO (in my humble opinion,) the education cartels are going to go the same way as the media cartels. It will take much longer for the education cartels, however, because rather than persecute Internet users, it embraced them. When the web became big, the education cartel recognized it for the gold mine it was. It offered online courses.

If the media cartels do not strangle the Internet with a bunch of new restrictions, education, entertainment, communications, and news will be improved a thousand fold. If the Internet infrastructure is bought out and restricted by the media cartels, education, entertainment, communications, and news will still be improved a thousand fold, only now it will take about five years longer because the “Echo Boomers” and hackers will have to build a new infrastructure. Work is ongoing in this area already with the proliferation of community networks, Muni-nets, FreeWans, and sneakernets. The cat is out of the bag so to speak, and it will be next to impossible to get the cat back into the bag. I urge everyone who reads this to get the book (or e-book) called, “Building Wireless Community Networks” published by O’Reilly.

Just about all of the technology required to build community networks can be bought off the shelf in regular stores or from the Internet. The remainder can be hacked together. Between buying and hacking together techology, people can build a network that serves them rather than the government – corporate masters. It is true that the “Echo Boomers” are a big part of the bloodless rebellion. It is also true that many of us “older folks” are also a part. I have written files and done some coding in order to set up local FreeWans. I live in a rural area and have no access to broadband. I use broadband in the town where I work and I bring the content home to host it on my FreeWan Cell. Others do the same.

While I have no real problems with people writing their elected representative in order to let them know that the people are not happy with the way thay have been doing business, I believe that is is better to not rely on government (as it currently exists) to make the necessary changes. I believe that it is better to inform the public (especially those who stay at home on election days because they believe that their vote makes no difference) that there are alternatives to the lamescream political parties that currently infest the government today. If you live in the Police States of America, tell those who don’t vote about the Libertarian, Constitution, Green, Reform, Socialist, Veterans and other political parties. Get them interested in any party other than the corrupt Democrat and Republican parties. Also, tell those you know about the Fully Informed Jury Association http://www.fija.org . This organization will shoe those who serve on a jury how they can nullify stupid laws and how to take back the power that has been stolen from them by the politicians and judges. http://www.fija.org is a judge’s worst nightmare. Use it.

We now have the technology to take control of our lives, and it is time we start using it. The same technology that governments and the cartels use to control and monitor us can be hacked and use to do the same to them. It is time for those who know how to use the technology to do exactly that and teach others to do the same. The slaves are restless, and the masters had better fear.
