Not likely. And from what I can tell "Net Neutrality" does NOT equal "Freedom Online." That's the whole problem here. The spinsters are spinning this on both sides. I ain't no Republican, and I argue FOR net freedom and AGAINST rules making us treat all trash on the net equally and preventing us from paying for better or preferred net access.

But who decides what's trash and what's not? You? The government? The ISP's? What if some of the people in control decide that their competition is "trash"? Then the consumer will have a much harder time getting an idea of what's the best choice. You're not going to be the one deciding what's trash, the people with money and power are.

You just don't imagine that you'll be among the people screwed over.

How is it freedom that someone with money can get what the people without money can't? The people without money could be screwed by bad social conditions, poor parents or just plain bad luck, rather than a will to work. The people with money could simply have been born into it. Freedom to spend your money isn't freedom for everyone.

You just want freedom for yourself and the rich, not for all.

Sad.

Now I don't deny that Shamrock pointed out some concerns in the US and Canada where internet providers had acted like tools. I trust that the market is better to control that type of behavior than some bureauon.

The market does not strive for equality, freedom or any good thing. That's a patent lie. The market strives for profit. If you turn the market loose, if you think that it's going to "control" or "balance" itself, you're a fool.

At first, you'll see a benefit for the consumer as the various sellers fight amongst each other. Then as the number of sellers drop, they'll merge or ally for the purpose of pumping the consumer when there's no one to challenge them with better and more fair offers. Anyone new who arises, they'll just crush with money.

And if you don't like my disdain for the European Socialist governments and their command-and-control style, then.... um... move?

My issue isn't with what you think of our governments, racist, it's that you directly called us "Euros" useless(PS: It's Europeans, it's not that hard.). How is moving going to make me less of a European?

Come on, admit it, you're a racist. You know it. Deep down.

You complain about the Mexicans stealing your jobs, too, don't you? Well, guess what? That's the market! More cost-efficient work force!
