communicating tragedy

I expect to hear any time from those in authority how terrible this incident in Arizona was and begin connecting it to the internet. This has been something I've mentioned before that once this administration got into power that the internet would be one area they would try to get a handle on since it is the free dissemination of information that helps the people keep control of their government. How far this administration will go towards restricting certain uses of the internet is up for debate. I look for action to take place rather quickly and as to how far they will go I don't know. I also think there will be more to follow after the initial first step regardless how big a step they decide to take.

This incident in Arizona will have an effect on this country which will spiral out much like a pebble tossed into a pond. No matter the good intentions by those people, I just think the fix will far outweigh the problem. This problem was caused by an individual with an obvious mental problem. If this is not looked at for what it is and people blow this way out of proportion we could end up with not only our internet but cable communications itself under the thumb of Big Brother. Let us hope this does not go that far and hope that when the sun sets on this day the next sunrise will bring us a better day.
