I don't agree. I probably think I should say, I don't agree at all.

I love the internet the way it is.

What I don't like is the ridiculous scaremongering from media, 
press and governments, who want us to believe the world is way 
too dangerous for us normal people to live in.

And I especially don't like the way those governments want us to 
believe it is them that should determine what it is we need to be 
protected against, and how that should be done - for a shitload 
of ridiculous money, of course - while in the meantime they are 
making lots of good stuff inaccessible or way too expensive.

What I would like is a LOT less government involvement in all 
those parts of life that we can regulate ourselves, but a much 
more honest, fair and good working police force and judicial system.

In the meantime, it is becoming very clear to more and more 
people that governments are not here for us; they think we are 
here for them. It would be good if that could change, instead of 
the internet :-)
