In all honesty, the only way to have net neutrality would be for he federal government to completely take possession of the internet. There would be no internet providers, just the Feds. Let’s take a quick look at that scenario, shall we.With the Feds totally owning the internet, you would have:
1. No porn. Think of the FCC and broadcast networks. No one would be able to cuss, show a woman’s bare chest, (although for the life of me, I can’t see how they allow men to flaunt theirs),2. The post office would finally be able to charge for emails. There would be only one email provider and if you spam, illegally hack into someone’s email, it would be a federal offense. Also, you wouldn’t be able to send naughty pictures because the Feds control it.3. The Feds could read all your email without faking it to get a search warrant from our Top Secret Court. The Feds would know every web site you have ever went and it would be forever.4. The Feds could take away your right to have internet.5. The Feds would tax the internet and the Federal Government would know your checking acct info., and all business that you do. So, they could charge you on your purchases, and the states would be able to charge sales taxes.6. Because of all the neat things in your house, like TV’s, refrigerators, radios, etc., your information could be sold easily to businesses and you would get tailor made ads every time you got onto your computer. They could make sure that your heating/cooling system was set to 68 degrees in the winter and 75 degrees in the summer.
These are just some of the things would come with net neutrality. So, are you sure you want net neutrality?
seems like the net neutrality is the new k2k. everybody talks about it but half of the people don’t know what it means, then we end with things like ‘y2k compliant bread toaster’ and ‘y2k compliant light bulb’ and ‘y2k compliant pencil eraser’.Once again, net neutrality has nothing to do wheter usa government is in charge of part of the internet (as it has already been, with no problem whatsoever). is the fact that carriers decide on the content given to the users, by blocking content from certain sites, or even changing it. Its about carriers, not government.. and no, it is not about google and amazon monopolizing, if they take a lot of traffic is because a lot of people want to check those sites, is about google (or youtube) and amazon being blackmailed, so if they don’t pay special fees to carriers, they just say ‘your pages can not be seen through our channels, no matter what the user wants’
I was waiting for Sue to show up (she’s my favorite female character). I notice she has what appear to be green ribbons in her hair, instead of her usual green earrings which the adult Sue always wears! She’s always very distinctive… Interesting look as an approx. ten year old: freckles and especially with the braces, an unfortunate feature common to that age group (yeah, me too for a while).

This time, little Sue did indeed listen to Rita and believed. So she abandoned her letter and began searching YouTube for “How to Pick a Gun Lock.”

Time for all of ’em to finish growing up. Time for Rita to start bossing around some grownups for a change.

“I don’t have any money. I work for a living.” Best line ever, young Sue.
