Re: Let them have their way... said by fAcEtIOUs:Sorry, but the US isn't Cuba or Venezuela where the gov't can confiscate private property without court hearings and compensation. But the wires are sitting on PUBLIC property. There is no right to keep ANYTHING on public property. Lets see how long my abandoned, no plate, with 5 tickets on the windshield car will stay parked on public property. |

You're both right. But, I think you're more right. Conservatives tend to overlook all the "socialism" involved in the creation of a private enterprise like cable, telcos and internet carriers. To them, after that initial ugliness is over, it's just a "free market." Any recognition of ongoing social interests is "socialism."
