I believe it is most important in describing this problem to be as clear as possible, since it affects the interests and future of the entire world. What I find most interesting is that no argument I have yet seen presented by the technocrats provides any clear technical reason why 'dot' cannot be opened for free market competition other than '...because it would be bad.' Each 'solution' so far presented appears to represent an ideological viewpoint, not a technical one. Contrary to the apparent position of others, I do not feel qualified to impose my own beliefs of how the world must be run above all others, in this or other matters. Through evolution or revolution, the world makes such decisions for itself but I have neither the patience to await an artificially chaperoned evolution nor the courage to foment some catastrophic revolution. I simply wish to get on with my life. It is my belief that the global Internet is laboring under the misguided auspices of self-proclaimed custodians of the public good who continue to impose artificial constraints upon its growth because they are afraid it might become something other than what they believe it should. I grow weary of hearing what is good for me from the mouths of those who believe their vision of the future is the correct one. So, I stand fiercely defiant between those who would shepherd the global Internet to their own dreams of perfection and those that wish to tear it apart so a better, stronger medium might arise from its ashes and demand that both GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR INTERNET! We have new worlds to build and grand dreams to realize. You are standing in our way. </rr>
