| "Corruption" is over the top -- the real question is... Just like in the FISA controversy, you insist on labeling actions as "illegal" (which is another way to say "corrupt") when it simply isn't so.
You would like corporate contributions to politicans to be illegal... but they aren't.
How can there be a discussion when you won't even report the facts correctly? You try to draw your conclusion from the way you (incorrectly) frame the question.
This is not reporting, it's rallying the crowd that already agrees with you, and guaranteeing that the other side is shouted down.
That said... I think the right way to frame this question is, who should pay for and control the USA broadband infrastructure? Corporations or the Government?
Personally, I vote for corporations. At least there's some competition there. And, competition is the only real way you get to vote with your dollars.
If government takes over the broadband infrastructure, I guarantee you it will cost you and me a huge amount more than our monthly bill from AT&T/Comcast/whoever. Plus, it will be much less responsive to our needs.
Do corporations suck? Yes. Does government suck more? Absolutely.
Remember the last time you went to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles to do something? How did you like standing in line, being given no useful information on what to do, and being at the mercy of some "I don't really give a crap about you because I am in the state employee union and you can't fire me and besides I'm only tolerating this low-pay job because of my pension" clerk? That's what it'll be like if you get your broadband from the government. |
