    "Net Neutrality" is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government.
    — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) November 10, 2014

It will be very interesting to see how they spin this one.

It'll probably be met in the same way as they met that stupidity about climate change on the election thread.  With silence.  :rolleyes:

Okay, you guys have been baiting me to bite on something all day... :razz:

I will give you my SPIN on this......I think Net Neutrality is a good thing, I think Cruz to an extent IS politicizing this, but his POINT is, it is the first step into allowing the FCC and our  government to gain more regulatory control over the internet...and since we bought into the "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" line....it is hard to accept Obama and his intentions anymore.  I think we need to address the infrastructure first and foremost.

But honestly, this shouldn't be a conservative or a liberal thing, it needs to be addressed.....and this type of regulation is cautiously needed.

No sense in arguing with you guys, what will it accomplish?  I am confident with my stance.

That's what Larry Craig said.   :biggrin:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Well HH, as to the subject of net neutrality, it seems you're close to being on the right side of this issue.  ;D
