Hey it's not a stupid idea to have a big switch that shuts off the interent.  It's a smart idea.  Assuming you plan to take over the country and want to disrupt the most useful form of communication for people that would be against you taking over their country.

 

This, my friends, is what I am afraid of. Too many things coming to a head... I don't like the smell of the air here, it is becoming foul with the stench of an Onerous Government.
