Discussion of the effect of internet on communications. The Internet is the first mass communication medium where "Everyman" can easily be a publisher. The printing press was the first mass communication tool, but only the rich or powerful had easy access to the input of information. Later technologies that refined the printing press, audio recording, movies, radio, and television, retained the model of restricting publishing to a small elite.

Californians for Budget Accountability - Welcome
Info on Proposition 56.
"Require legislators to deliver a fair budget, on time. If the budget is late, legislators won't get paid and can't take time off until it's done. No budget, no pay and no vacation or action on other bills."
If the budget is late, remove the roof from the building and restrict the legislators to a bread and water diet until the budget is passed.
