| Re: I tell ya! I notice that the communist pinko website moveon.org was happy this bill died. I am sure those pro-terrorist commie pinkos would love to see all franchises die and be replaced by government run (communist run) internet system where poor people and illegal aliens get free internet, and everyone else gets bent over having to pay for it.
Trust nothing Moveon.org believe in. They are communists, and the only good communist is a dead one! | |

| Re: I tell ya! Man, I didn't know they had time travel to the future way back in the 1960's! Welcome to the 21st century, where practically nobody really believes in communism anymore, except maybe the North Koreans and the Cubans (the Chinese may still profess it, but they are getting more capitalistic by the day, which is a totally separate issue from their human rights record).
What I think many of us WOULD like to see is large, soul-less corporations no longer allowed to run roughshod over the democratic process, because they can in effect buy laws favorable to their way of doing business. This has been a problem since back in the days of the railroad barons and oil monopolies (did those ever REALLY get broken up?) but after that we had strong antitrust legislation, that unfortunately has been considerably weakened in recent years.
I am sure that 15 or 20 years ago, it would have been unthinkable to even talk about a merger the size of AT&T and BellSouth, yet here we are with the FCC playing the role of lap dog to the very corporations they're supposed to be regulating. Something is very wrong in this nation when the largest corporations have the power to subvert the democratic process, by throwing money around that they know they can recover simply by raising rates to their customers. Business is a wonderful thing (especially smaller, efficiently-run businesses) but the larger a business gets, the less respect it seems to have for both its employees and its customers, particularly when it has the government's aid in warding off competition. | |
