Well it's to defend ourselves. And you know, I'm hoping that we're not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the FCC will be the cure for the Comcast problems.
I was thinking about how instant mass communication and organization might transcend freedom of speech, and even the right to peaceably assemble. Basically, it's much more potent than pure freedom of press/speech and freedom to assemble, and maybe protected as a means for the organization of a militia (armed or not).
Not that it's the correct way of interpreting that amendment by any means, I was just thinking it'd be an interesting point to take on the matter.
