"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Thomas Jefferson Perhaps the concept of netnews is similar to the newspapers of Jeffersons day. Certainly he couldn't have known about the trash tabloids that flourish in this country, or TV "news", which is more entertainment than information. Certainly, in these times, the great struggle is for the minds of men and women. Sadly, many have filled their minds with the dreck produced by the various groups that struggle to gain advantage, or deny a hearing to reason. In this net, this struggle has been be observed. I am glad to see that reason prevails here.
