America, the modern Rome

Complete with a state religion, our thinking and beliefs that we are the peace keepers of the world pushing back the sinful world while turning a blind eye to the evils we commit in the process of pressing forward with our own agenda. We even build our cities via roman designs. The UK sought in its day to be the new Rome, then after its graceful decline, the US sought to take their place, and for a time they did, but we are not quite gracefully stepping back, and in failing to yield to the new world, we may loose the US. With technology, and the Internet which the UN being led by china and Russia are seeking to seize control of the Internet. Something that should belong to the world. Information, ergo the Internet should belong to all of humanity, and like housing, food, and medical aid, should be among the things which are inalienable human rights. I may be wrong but I believe had the founding fathers known about the Internet they would have made it a human right. To often were told this or that is a privilege not a right, if you actually read what our founding fathers have left to us, no small amount of writings, they believed in the education of the people. An educated people are a strong people. Feudal lords desisted the printing press, and many sought to control them. Once they became cheap enough for anyone to print information, the world changed. In the apogee of the information age the Internet is being threatened. Even Rome educated thier slaves. We in the US have the right of free speech, if control is handed over to the UN what will we do when they end that? Nothing because we won't have a choice. The UN has shown over and over in rowanda, in Bosnia, even in its failure to uphold the anti-whaling laws that it chooses not to act. So do we want them in charge of our free speech? Guess maybe Orwell was right all the time, and like the Jews in Germany, by the time stands up and says no more, or worse help me, who will be there to reach out a hand?
