Netflix Fighting for Net Neutrality!

I have three teen-aged daughters, man. It totally explains it.

No, it does not! Take props. Not every dad with three teen-aged daughters (or two....or ONE) is as you are.

LUCKY GIRLS!!!!!

Haha, I think they would disagree with you, but they're kids.

Seriously, though, anyone who is interested in this debate (and not historical revisionism, which is a diff. thread) should read Level3's comments in those blog posts. They don't have an axe to grind on either side. What they do have is a very broad picture of what is actually going down. The data on port congestion across all of their peers is 100% damning. The _only_ intransigent offenders are the local ISP monopolies.

Trust me, they will stop taking you for granted at some point. Bet, even now, they get flashes that they lucked out. ok, brief flashes, but they get em.

INDEED! Totally. Objective truth exists, in detail and perspective. But when anyone’s default mode is other than having the health, courage and passion to chase truth ongoing......we end up with.....well, quicksand dilettantes.

We earn everything. I believe that more than ever.

If you read those and still don't see Netflix as the good guys, and Comcast/Time Warner/Etc. as the bad guys, go back and read them again.

Well obviously Comcast is the bad guy. Even if you are 100% anti-Net Neutrality there is no way the level of open FCC corruption they have undertaken is acceptable.

L3 might as well have dropped the mic after that raking over the coals.

At this point it's whoever has the most money. You have a few companies like Netflix and mozilla fighting for net neutrality, and a handful of huge ISPs fighting to kill it.

Is true. BUT, we can make a difference by getting off our butts......Jeeze, at least email the White House, sign petitions!

Being defeatist is not posed to be our default mode!

Where is everyone's passionate indignation and pro activity?

The Supreme Court made it official and money is they only free speech a politician wants to hear.

Back in the 90's before two wars, a major market crash with few consequences, and an inequality boom undid the optimism that fueled the American dream.

Listen, you will never meet a little human who has more anguish about the makeup of the Roberts Court than I. Or the one before Roberts. Terrifying bible thumping sleazoid moronic Neanderthals. Creationists! Seriously?

But that don mean you should give up!!!! Wut we posed to do, poison Scalia's cannolis? OK, it has crossed my mind. The obvious internalized racial hatred of brainless Clarence? And the Koch Bros and their ilk, OMG. But, did they stop Obama from getting elected TWICE? NO!!!!!!!!

U think I am over just Bush v Gore? And, how about the hateful, BS macho arrested developments who are dissing the Obamababe for not being a war monger and screaming "Weak!"? Seriously? U think I miss any of this merda?

Still can't believe he got appointed, Clarence. Total nitemare.

I know! TRUST ME, I DO! And my building is riddled with lowlife Fausts who work at Goldmine Sachs. Common, I wanna do away with term limits!.....not that Obama, forget Michelle... masochistic enough for a third term (I emailed him that recently)......but you can not let the mofos trump your good brain, yr integrity and yr passion!!!!!

When I get pancaked.....I think of the gay community and the stunning progress they continue to achieve in this culture which, in too many ways is bungeeing back to the stone age! Think about just that!!!!!

I've done my fair share but in the end, the government never listens to people. All we can do is let them know we're not happy. The MIGHT be influenced as they are scared they don't get re-elected. But most of the people doing these type of decisions arn't elected officials anyway.

Another bad one is the trans pacific partnership, this one is being snuck in. It's a BAD one, it's like SOPA but it's for a big portion of the world.
