Slashdot: US Control of Internet Remains an Issue  … my question: what is a truly good or compelling reason for this? I’ve not yet heard one – other than they just don’t like the U.S. having it. Gotta be a better reason than that.

Play, Learn and Feed a Hungry Person – this is Way Cool!

Not sure who came up with this idea – but it is great!  Freerice.com
