 I can lobby government to pass
 laws protecting my Rights from
 being abused by commercial
 interests. Those rights can
 be included in constitutions
 and Bills of Rights thereafter
 extending protections I expect
 everywhere else to new media
 and emmerging technologies.

 Don't Tread on Me... Great
 motto from the great American 
 Revolution. You remember...
 the one that secured the rights
 and freedoms of millions of
 people and has served as an
 example to the world, eh?
