Re: In regards to Goss's crazy scheme
This site that Goss is after is a little more "lively" than the Dome. I don't know if Goss will be able to throttle them or not. He would be better off forgetting about doing it through legislation and letting RTB censor their posts. That would tame them down and lead them into a life of hope, growth and opportunity.
