There’s a rumor that President Obama is giving control of the Internet to an international governing body.  

The truth? America has said all along that it would eventually relinquish some of the key control functions of the Internet.This is typical of our government; break promises about good decisions and keep promises over stupid things it’s committed to. Besides, President Obama couldn’t give away Al Gore’s invention.

Turning over one of the crowing achievements of American technology to the world sounds like something Gore would agree to.He’s so globally minded and lately…globally shaped. Gore’s put on so much weight he looks like he’s absorbing carbon directly from the atmosphere!

But I digress. My name is E. Curtis Johnson. Here are three words why Americans shouldn’t be afraid to turn the Internet over to an international body of regulators and bureaucrats: The United Nations!  We all know how well that’s worked out. < choke> <gag> <hack> <wheeze>
