WASHINGTON – Barack Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" has advocated a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period.

Sunstein also has argued in his prolific literary works that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.

"A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government," he wrote. "Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom's name."

Do liberals really want this? This means that all of their opinions will have links to a conservative site that will use logic and reaoning to blow any of their arguements out of the water.

How about government just back the heck off of our everyday lives? Could that be an option? Doesn't the First Amendment also give us the right to hear others? Isn't this a another liberal attack on the First Amendment?

"Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom's name."

What resulting problems?

That is just plain scary.

On the other hand, that would mean that any sites promoting evolution would need to offer links to I.T. or creationism views as well!!

I wonder if he thought of that?

If this is the way it's going to be, every time Maobama gives a speech or press conference, I want to Rush or Mike Church, or Mark Levin right next to him with the opportunity to rubutt every errrr, ahhh, or ummm.

"A system of limitless individual choices"

sounds like freedom to me--
so what would the opposite be???

Isn't this supposed to be protected by the 1st ammendment??
Oh I forgot, the U.S. constitution is a "living document"
the Founding fathers couldn't have known about the internet when they wrote that!! sarcasm intended!!!
