>The idea of a giant hivemind conducting business as it sees fit frightens me. What about a government doing as it sees fit? That should be more frightening to you because it's existing for a long time and it's cost countless lives. And it's still doing so.

I would choose order over anarchy any day. At least the government has a system of checks and balances; could be better but I'll take what I get. A utopia is built over time, instant is too soon. Of course, a government has the ability to influence a situation more than the Internet; they can pretty much do what ever they want. I don't see them throwing that weight around to much though. In fact, if the Wikileaks documents has taught anyone anything, it is that the government is on its grind 24-7 365. Dont get me wrong. DDoSing Paypal, Master Card, et al is pretty entertaining, but I wonder what that cost other people? They screwed with an individual organization, well they have millions of clients. Instead of giving the situation time to develop, the Internet took the easy path to instant gratification, destruction. If you mess with ourIdol(X) we(Y) will not hesitate to take you(Z) down, and not care about them(ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW) A better solution would have been: Get the news. Allow the news to sink in. What is the gravity of the situation? Are there any opposing arguments? Let those arguments sink in. Rationally, which view is better? Has the news changed yet? Form opinion. Talk to opposition. Plan. Attack. All of that should take at least a 1 or 2 days. Internet, their on it in like 5 minutes.

  >I would choose order over anarchy any day. I suspect you don't know much about anarchy if you think it's without order. It's just (according to the literature) without inequality. >but I wonder what that cost other people? At this point, there is pretty much no action you could take that would have any effect on the people you wish to motivate without affecting innocent people as well. Deciding to not use a monopoly business only has negative affect on you, not the monopoly. They wont even notice.
