The point I think is important here, is that (in my opinion) it's lobbied censorship/control though. This isn't the Government forcing their ideology through regulation - this is Corporations lobbying and buying out politicians, and the Government is the accessory to it.

We need better politicians.

Have you ever considered that this might be the inherent nature of politicians, and that we might be better to go without them and their local-monopoly called "government"?

I personally don't believe so, I enjoy the stability and prosperity that (in my belief) effective regulation and governance brings.

Unfortunately, it can get soured through a variety of means, and it requires constant tending.

I find the alternatives (be it anarchy or tyranny) worse than the status quo.
