Well, while some may be a stretch, you could probably make a case for those subjects that national broadband access/reform could improve or allow for the advancement of knowledge and discussion of almost all of those topics.
Knowledge is power, which can be the power to change. And what better fountain of knowledge is there than the net?
A stretch, maybe. But when you're relying on CNN and Fox News to educate your citizens about the above subjects, you can't really expect much reform.
That being said, both Rob  and ColorBASIC make valid points. You can't count on the Feds anyway, be it this task or another. If it isn't lining someones pockets....  Apathy sucks.
