Perhaps off topic… perhaps not.

The movement underway to internationalize the Internet, in particular the use of non-latin scripts in domain names, email addresses, etc. is now in full swing.

I’m wondering if the anti-Babel effect of having English being the default language of the internet is about to being to slide away…

I wonder how the revanchists (who are the heart and soul of the Tea Party movements and much of the right wing hate) are going to react to their email boxes start to fill up with non-English messages (probably spam.)

There are more websites/blogs being created in the East than anywhere else now.

By the time China replaces the US as the largest economy (10 years away?), how will the American revanchists react when all of a sudden the G8/G10/G20 no longer bows to pressure from the US?

We have an interesting, and possibly disturbing, decade ahead of us in this country as the older generations, who grew up in a time of unparalleled American dominance over the world, see their world system fade away.

Will they try to impose laws, maybe even Blasphemy laws, to preserve their ideals?
