And allow me to point you to my personal opinion, which I believe poor Keith
had to suffer through as delivered live at a rally against the CDA at
Lafayette Park in Feb 1997:

http://www.clark.net/pub/klaatu/speech.html

Note that since the speech was delivered, the InterNet, which was once the
most diversely owned medium outside of the smalltown press venues, is now
essentially consolidated under WorldCom -- so much for me writing good
science fiction. Oh well.
