Al Franken Says FCC Proposed Rules Are "The Opposite of Net Neutrality"
An anonymous reader writes "Senator Al Franken can be counted among the many who are at odds with the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules. From the article: 'Senator Al Franken has a pretty good idea of what the term "net neutrality" means—and that, he says, puts him head-and-shoulders above many of his colleagues in the U.S. Congress. "We literally have members of Congress—I've heard members of the House—say, 'We've had all this innovation on the Internet without net neutrality. Why do we need it now?'" he told TIME in an interview last week. "I want to say, 'Come on, just try to understand the idea. Or at least just don't give a speech if you don't know what you're saying. Please—it hurts my head."'"

If Senator Al Franken has "a pretty good idea" about this it would be among his first. (I wonder if he made a post anywhere about it?)

Al Franken would regain what respect I had for him if he went back to doing comedy on TV and in the movies for audiences instead of doing it in the Senate on the American people. "Astute" is not the word that comes to mind when I think of Franken.

Do you want a society that respects the rule of law or not?
Like when slavery was legal? All those people helping "free" other people's property... for shame.
