| Good Job Karl Excellent Editorial Karl. I think you did an excellent job discussing why this is wrong, regardless of if you are pro or con the various issues.
One thing I think we do too much of is bitch about our politicians, and not let them know. E-mail or call your Senators office! Let them know what you think about this!

I am somewhat active in local politics. I have to tell you, that phone calls and stuff like really do work. Senators and Reps are so used to getting calls from the same people over and over, that when a new REAL (ie not an activist or lobbyist type) person calls it gets more attention than you would think. I have heard some staffers make the comment that 1% of callers make up 90% of the volume.
I am a very jaded individual when it comes to politics mind you. Just adding my 2cents about calls.

| Devil's Advocate Maybe those polled did not understand it (Net Neutrality) in the first place? Stevens, a relic and an idiot, certainly doesn't calling the Net a "series of tubes."
I do think everything about quicker deployment should be allowed. If states want to stall progress to protect this and that, maybe some framework should be designed for disputes. QOS is never going to work anyway. New Technologies will kill it. | |

| Re: Good Job Karl Yes.. good job. And, to add.. push polling is done more than not these days. There's been much debate over the validity of polls and surveys, etc.
A poll is only as good as the organization conducting them and the questions asked.
Penn & Teller's BullShit program did an episode on pollsters last season. I forget who it was, but one of the major and well respected polsters in this country, pews? Can't remember, admitted to push polling to achieve the results their clients wanted.
This is why I do not pay attention to polls. Really, there is no real need to poll in masses. Really, there are consumer friendly ways to do business and still make money. These yahoos just need to stop listening to their marketing staffers and do the right thing.
There's something to be said about building the better mouse trap.. (ie: product)... if you build it, they WILL come. If you manipulate people, they will run.

We will not change this until we change the power of control in this body. | |
