Point taken!  No worries though, man:  You can pour yourself a scotch
too if you like.  

As for 'nothing to do with the rest of us,' I'd argue you would indeed
be impacted if the US implemented some ass-hatted packet filtering
system.  Lots of popular internet sites are American companies.  Usenet,
happily, would remain unaffected for the reasons its original architects
saw more clearly than their successors did.

Hils makes some good (political) points below, too.
