toxicTom: There has to be a way for anonymous communication and bypassing censorship. There is no guarantee that our "free democracies" will last forever (IMO we can watch them crumbling right now).
Agreed... Although when the system becomes annoying enough due to spammers and too many people abusing the system, sometimes it just has to be rebuilt from scratch...
Although probably once it goes down, it won't be coming back...
In short, we are screwed... maybe it won't happen for a few years, but sooner or later we are all royally screwed...
