No, no point being missed, and I'm from the UK and live in the US I am quite well versed in the civil freedoms and responsibilities we enioy in the West and to be honest, I believe I may value them more dearly than most. Freedoms and rights come with things called responsibilities, but I'm going to guess that thought will be lost on you. I deal with enough paranoia towards reasonable regulation of things where I work, to know it when I see it.

The Internet has no laws because it was born in a lawless space, and grew faster than our collective ability to understand how to handle law enforcement online. No one had go to extereme lengths to ensure that the Internet is free from laws, mundane or otherwise. I'm beginning to suspect that some revisionist history has been applied to the Internet. Of course I've actually used the Internet since before it became the "internet", I've watchedit grow, I saw the idealism of the early days be swallowedup by ecommerce and a sesspit of filth.

In all honesty, I feel that there is no point in discussing this with you any further considering the degree of misinformation you accept and promote as fact. So, having said my piece I will leave you to your alternate reality
