It's all still a matter of the voters' personal choice. There is no outside "system" to blame for that. Either they take their own initiative, or they don't. What they have now is their own making, even if by simply allowing it to happen and not lifting a finger, on the contrary, they are actively supporting it with their vote for Quid Pro Quo, yet endlessly whining about it.
Question: Who is going to end gerrymandering for you? The judges that owe favors? Or are people going to elect somebody to change the law? Of course if the latter were to happen, "Mission Accomplished", right?
This one is actually 23. I will grant that the UI on lynx has been just a bit more consistent over the years, but not by much. Firefox is its bastard child with various limbs amputated to make it "lightweight".
There is nothing wrong with people using their government to acquire clout in the free market. In fact, it's only way they can. They don't have the capital needed to play the way the super rich do.
Nope. People in the new districts can still vote for anybody on the ballot. It is still their choice to stay with the devil they know. No more excuses!
That's a lot of bull. All the trunk lines are paid for through their leasing contracts. Every connection is paid for. They want to double dip and regulate content.
It's called a leased point to point circuit, and all those evil scary ISP's already sell those services. That's how all those little companies the article talks about haul their data around.
Yes, this is true, but this way a bunch of people only have to buy one big fat connection with one big fat wallet, which will carry some serious clout when negotiating the price. This way the buyer prevails, or at least there is a balance of power. "Socialism" from the bottom up.
Please! What is that supposed to mean? Did they actually flip votes on the machines, or somehow forced people to vote Republican? This is tabloid press bullshit.
If only people would stop electing terrible legislators.
Can't have that. The voters are helpless little angels and can only do what the TV tells them. Because, you know, like, democracy is hard, and the glittery money dazzles. I mean, they all want laws passed, but they never offer up anybody who will make an honest effort of it. Apparently, it's supposed to happen automagically, even as they reelect the same old crooks into office.
Absolutely. Elected officials should be making the rules, not appointed ones. The FCC is there to enforce the laws that congress writes. They can't go around making their own rules. If you want "net neutrality", vote for a congress that will give it to you instead constantly reelecting servants to the industry. The opportunity is ours to squander.
If the voters don't hang the Sword of Damocles over the politicians' heads then you are right. That is what makes it the voters' responsibility. Nobody else will do it. You cannot change legislation without changing the legislator. I don't know why people are so repulsed by simple facts. If you have something better, then out with it..
Searching for yourself only draws more attention. Each query is added to the database. Google picks up on those things when they scrape the site. Suddenly your name is everywhere in every search engine.
Hmm, I was under the impression there was a problem. Of course you are allowed to continue reelecting 95% or more of them indefinitely. I'm merely pointing out options, can't make your choices for you.
Pai is only concerned with the investment returns of the telcoms
Yes, that's how it works. The FDA protects the pharmaceutical industry. The DOJ protects the corrections industry. Treasury protects the banks. And so on...
Unless the house is swept clean next year, don't expect much to change.

Well, they have to lie, or they'll lose their job. It's pretty straight up.
Until it translates into votes, it doesn't mean squat.
*Sweep the House*
It was a self driving car, and it got bored...

Is a government of the majority "voluntary"?

Oh no, why would you think I was talking about IE?
You better check with the president first
Just like everything else, thank you, that's all anybody needs to know. Just slap a label on it, like on the bottle of Drano.
OMG! Please! Pull the other one! Show me the money! Let's see the contract that provoked this. I hope it was worth it.
And I have to ask, is there any reason at all to use Firefox when we have a perfectly good 20 year old browser at our fingertips?
Well, hopefully we'll use the law to prevent that kind of crap, because it is theft.

No, voters are responsible for cleaning out the house every two years... that will take care of the swamp.

So, the pai is a cake?
Exactly. This "veteran journalist" is just demanding that Ford sells cars with Chevy engines in them.
