Re: Consumers
It's not just "this" administration, there are a lot of Dems backing this also, and for full disclosure, I am a Dem. Remember, it's all about the money, everything else is secondary. Peace

1 edit | I agree it's about the money, but the current morons administration, is surely in favor of it, as some sort of payback, no doubt. Don't forget, Gonzo isn't out the door quite yet. I think he leaves on the 17th.
I am sure that there are some Dems who are all about the money as well. Just as I am sure that there are more than a majority of legislators who haven't a clue as to WTF these "internets" are.

| I really, really, really doubt that the torpedoing of network neutrality wouldn't have gotten to where it is today without bipartisan-ly greased wheels. I mean, do you remember the DMCA sellout that was completed while Clinton was at the wheel? Having a changing of the head guard won't do much of squat when both sides of the political equasion are already bought & paid for. |

If you don't like the way things are, YOU are responsible for changing things, and YOU have the power of the vote to do so.

Well, barring a people's revolution on capital hill, I still think you miss the point. Blaming the head moron for actions incited even outside his own party just shows that defending corporate interests isn't a party/administration-line issue.
All I'm saying is that flushing away our digital rights has never been a soley Bush venture. The trend started long ago...its just the current congress and administration combined have been making heaps of ground in the matter. |
