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 The amendment that her provision was attached to was withdrawn, but lobbyists tell Public Knowledge that Feinstein hopes to put it back into the bill during the closed-door conference committee that reconciles the House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!
I mean, I thought it was the Republicans who were destroying America and the Democrats were going to save us? You mean to tell me that they are all beholden to business interests? Say it it isn't so!
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
I for one welcomed our new Democratic overlords, but now I'm not so sure...
They're for responsible government, remember?
Wrong..Republicans are for responsible gov't...Democrats are for stealing money for republicans and giving it to the welfare line folks. Jeez, get it straight boy!
I do not support "The Man". I also do not support your irrational stupidity
Yep, by their own admission, in fact. I'm not sure how it happened, but I ended up on the RNC mailing list. The lastest message from Michael Steele (RNC chair) said, "The battle is joined. As you all know, the Republican Party is unified in our opposition [to the stimulus]"
This is a common republican theme: we are unified, and we fight. Sounds like mindless automatons to me...
Almost spit my Mountain Dew all over my desk
Probably would have been a good idea, it's not good for you. ;)
I liked him better than Senator Binks, at least.
If you can read this, it means that I bothered to log in.
Your sources are diverse and correct! Everyone knows Open standards for medical documents is a one way road to Socialism. Just ask anyone on slashdot what open standards does to a buisiness! It's evil, don't touch it! You don't have to read deep into Torvaldis' Das Penguinal to see that communism follows.
Whether or not there is some sort of god, I'm not supposed to say/god is a word and the argument ends there-Smog
The sad thing is most Americans don't even know which party is in control in Washington.
Source?
This is all Bill Clinton's fault!
It's amazing the power corporations have, isn't it? I mean, look how they have systematically expanded work hours, reduced health and safety regulations, put more children to work, and ramped up their pollution over the last 100 years. If only there were some way to force corporations to advertise truthfully, label accurately, and honor the contracts they enter into.
And the political system is obviously corrupt. It's the only plausible explanation for how a candidate gets elected whom I dislike.
If only we changed the entire system of public and private enterprise, the world would finally be the way it should be--exactly how I want it!
Build a man a fire, he's warm for one night. Set him on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.
