COME AGAIN, DR. DEAN?
Howard Dean, beginning his stint as guest-blogger over at Lawrence Lessig’s weblog, posted the following: The Internet might soon be the last place where open dialogue occurs. One of the most dangerous things that has happened in the past few…
Kerry Admits To Losing the Final Debate
Well, not in so many words… but the fact that he was desperate enough to immediately run out and lie about the draft seems to betray a lack of confidence in his own debate performance, don’t you think? Kerry knows…

I get it. Government bureaucrats altering broadcast media regulations equals life-altering inventions or a massive science and technology program. You so reamed Dean.
Thomas
I remember hearing Bush say that and wondering who would fall for such a cheap and meaningless rhetorical trick. Three years later, I’m not surprised it was you, John.
John Cole
You are both fools- He is guest blogging, able to personally speak to all of Lessig’s readers, many probably for the first time, and rather than put forth a positive, constructive message about something he wants to do, it is more “Bush is in the pocket of evil big business” or “Bush is taking all your rights away.”
That was my point. I am not surprised you missed it, Thomas.
Thomas
I understood your point. It just wasn’t a very good one.
He’s asking legitimate questions about the consequences of telecom laws. Since Lessig writes about the media and the law, I’m pretty sure most of his readers are interested in what Dean is saying. Your might not think so, but then again you divined ‘Bush is in the pocket of evil big business’ from Dean’s pessimism about the value of media consolidation.

“The Internet might soon be the last place where open dialogue occurs.”
Dialogue eh? I’d like to know, from Thomas if not Dean himself, just what are the ‘first–through–nth” places where open dialogue occurs (or occured).
Seriously asking.
