Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Register, Senator Diane Feinstein is attempting to put language into the stimulus bill that would kill net neutrality. The amendment that her provision was attached to was withdrawn, but lobbyists tell Public Knowledge that Feinstein hopes to put it back into the bill during the closed-door conference committee that reconciles the House and Senate versions." Bad Senator! No Cookie!

    Why can't you freaking idiots understand that Net Neutrality is the last thing you want! Are you so mouth-breathing stupid that you forget all about the idiocy, bureaucracy and corruptability of the state just because you want something for your precious Internet? Who do you think is the most likely destroyer of all the things you like about the Internet 50 years from now... Qwest, or the state?

    The irony is that laws like this will immediately be co-opted by the very ISP's you hate as a means of maintaining their monopoly. In the end, both the ISP and the state will have gained additional control over the Internet BECAUSE YOU MORONS GAVE IT TO THEM.

    Fucking idiots. I don't know why you bother worrying about all the other freedoms we're losing. You don't seem to understand the nature of the beast.

    Basically she could be declared the most corrupt and evil Senator ever except Ted Kennedy won that award already.

    Don't be sorry, she does two things - blog, and fuck. I can't stand her blog but she's just as batshit crazy when she fucks too.
