Re: Sad said by Jovi:said by caco:It is a public meeting. Usually the only ones that ever go to these type of meeting are people to bitch about something. If your service is working fine than my guess they had no incentive to go to this meeting. Go to any city council meeting in any state and you will must likely see what am talking about. Kind of hard to have a fair meeting when all those attending in the crowd are active participantsone way or another. So your saying that Comcast has a right to block people from speaking their mind in public hearing regardless? If the FCC actually spent time to set up a hearing, then it is pretty pointless to have a majority of a certain viewpoint represented. Comcast, as a single entity/corporation, is large enough to have a few individuals attend to speak for them. Wise up. This is std practice for every politician running for office and all public meetings. Usually though, those clogging up public meetings are construction union workers and family members of the elected officials that push thru redevelopment projects in every township in America.

I consider myself quite wise actually. Just because it's commonplace, doesn't make it right my friend.

Compact paid them to be their. They hired them, this is not standard practice. |

Having been to a few of those meetings myself, all I saw was developers and their lawyers, lying through their teeth all too often.
But I suppose if you see an opening to slam someone and something on idealogical grounds, why not take it, right?
You are quite predictable. |

| Sure. Right here where I live. A developer and his lawyer making all sorts of promises, like a new ladder truck for the fire department and a senior center for the town, while making wild accusations against the town attorney, a man of impeccable ethics.
He got all the approvals he needed, with an ease that was stunning. And the financing. Oh yes, the financing. He has not turned one shovel-full of earth or hammered one nail.
It was a big project too. No union members were seen for miles, at any time. For all the building that took place out here, until the market tanked, the unions were never an issue. In fact, you can probably make a better ideological aside about undocumented aliens, when talking about the building trades around here. Them developers sure do love them some undocumented aliens.
But we weren't talking about me, originally. Were we? |

Re: Sad Oh, No! Sorry. I was confused. I thought you were saying that "all I saw was developers and their lawyers, lying through their teeth all too often" at the FCC meeting.
I listened to the whole meeting, and what I heard didn't jive with what you said -- that's why I asked. I didn't mean to challenge you about anything other than the FCC meeting.
