Pls explain: 1) how the internet is inherently American?

It must be inherently American since Al Gore invented the internet.....right?

At the content delivery point, yes it can be censored. I censor my sons internet access today. However you still havent supported your statements. Don't confuse content censor ship with your understanding of the infrastructure that is the internet.

K4 you must be absolutely correct cause if he didn't invent it, it wouldn't exist. Didn't he get a Nobel for inventing the internet?

Off topic but related: Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr was co-inventer of the method WIFI and Bluetooth are using. It was invented for unjammable torpedo guidance in WWII.

She couldn't have, she wasn't American.

I really don't know what we would do without the internet today and how we got by without it. Recently I was in need of a cornering light for my 17 year old motorhome which is on a F53 Ford frame. Of course Ford doesn't stock many parts for this other than some of the engine and suspension parts.
Anyway a quick search on the internet turned up not only the cornering light but also a full set of lights for both side including headlight, cornering light and parking light for $138. Not only was I afraid I wouldn't find my light but that the cost would be $$$$$$$ like they are for newer cars.

I am so thankful for Google and the internet for finding my parts for this and other repairs to my aging motorhome and other items needed. It has saved me hundreds of dollars rather than buying locally at exorbitant prices for repair items.

Hmm, you got something useful done using the internet. I will bring balance to the force through the following link.

Enjoy it while you can. The U.S. is giving up control to the U.N. basically. Even N. Korea will get their turn to tun it. Say "goodbye" to security, uptime, email privacy, default language preference and "hello" to threats, abuse, identity theft, phishing volume, and porno laced ads.

Welcome to the New World Order. (But your private email server won't be important to anyone).
