I don’t know what a Bread and Circus is, so I can’t really comment on that.

As for hands off – that is what Net Neutrality is all about, and he is a strong supporter of continued Net Neutrality.

Also, most of his policies are about UNDOING most of the damage done by THIS administration spying and being so technologically illiterate, with a couple of exceptions, notably health databases.

He may be the strongest on tech issues, doesn’t mean he’s the best choice otherwise. Bread and Circuses are wonderful, but the bill is pretty high.

The best role of government in tech is to stay as hands off as possible, with the exception of antitrust and illegal monopoly concerns. Something they have fumbled badly.

If he is willing to start including unions, guilds, trial lawyers and other Democratic favorites under his special interests boogeyman tag I’ll give him a pass on his other weaknesses.
Otherwise, one Jimmy Carter is enough for one lifetime.

This has nothing to do with my post, I’m just cracking up at the delivery of a McCain ad on an Obama post.
