Bringing up thread about Internet from down below
Posted: Mar 24, 2014
Pretty busy thread down there and I didn't want this info to go to waste.
Count former President Bill Clinton among those who are skeptical of the new Obama administration plan to give up Internet oversight authority.
At a weekend meeting sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative, the former president talked in detail about why the U.S. should retain oversight over Internet domain names and addresses.
“A lot of people … have been trying to take this authority from the U.S. for the sole purpose of cracking down on Internet freedom and limiting it and having governments protect their backsides instead of empowering their people,” Clinton said during a panel discussion Friday night.
Clinton launches into a discussion of Internet governance with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales at about the 1:03:45 mark:
His own words is on this link and I post this because no one here can state he didn't say it:

HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU!!!!!!!!! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I wish people would not just blindly follow along party lines because they are afraid their side will look bad. This goes for all parties!! (I'm conservative, but I agree with MANY liberal principles.) Too bad Slick Willie can't be president again. Seriously, aside from his lying, he was a pretty good president.
So, all of a sudden, - NK
[ In Reply To ..]Mr. Clinton is an unimpeachable source of information for you? The same "Slick Willie," as another poster referred to him? Oh, and BTW, referenced his lying. Really?
That's hysterical.... You know some people - have no mirrors in their home
[ In Reply To ..]don't point out the obvious, they get very upset.
I made the Slick Willie comment. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]You appear to dispute and/or contradict just about every conservative post on this board, and you do it with such faux authority. This does not always illuminate you in a positive light. I'm sorry to say, but this is one of those times.
BTW, Clinton's lying that I referenced has to do with his famous statement, "I never had sex with that woman."
Clinton perjured himself. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]No message necessary.
Except maybe one - PERIOD. - :)

Well, there was and, unless they know I am snooping and are trying to drive me completely insane, they did go through with it in the short time they were in his room with the do ...
Bringing PositivityApr 06, 2012
Push yourself forward There are plenty of obstacles that can stand in your way. Don’t be one of them. Your own thoughts, assumptions and fears can hold you back just as surely as a solid brick wall. And yet, just as you created those self-imposed obstacles, you can let them go. Instead of fighting against yourself, use the amazing power of your thoughts to more fully enable yourself. Instead of constructing elaborate excuses for avoiding your dreams, just go ahead and let yourself live ...
