Throughout Human History, the availability of education and public access to knowledge has ALWAYS been controlled by those with power. The global rise of the Internet has scared-the-living-bejesus out of those who want to maintain that control. Currently the Internet offers access to informational components of both "Heaven" & "Hell", and in the process is helping the global facilitation of both "Good" and "Evil" deeds. The issue at hand, is the continued conflict and human interpretation of the difference between the defining characteristics of "Good" and "Evil". Unfortunately, millions of humans still want to live by the belief systems of the 16th Century, and are having great difficulty dealing with the present one.

The global free flow of information DEPENDS upon the human acceptance of the concept of Individual Freedom. It is my opinion, that the Human Species has NOT yet evolved to the point where the majority of its population accepts that premise. So, for the rest of the foreseeable future those in power will continue to control the free flow of information because of their fear of losing control.

One of my biggest fears, is that the providers of globally accessible, open-source publishing software (such as WordPress) will voluntarily give in to the demands of Corporations, Governments, Religious Groups, and the whole concept of Political Correctness (the most dangerous control-mechanism on the planet) RESULTING in destroying the two decades old global expansion of Individual Freedom.

I don't think Individual Human Freedom will last, but I hope I'm wrong.
