There is very little more annoying and more indicative of someone who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about than the guy who yells BZZZT on a web forum.
One wonders, in your myopic little world where there's plenty of money for puppies and unicorns if only we soak the rich for all they have, what you believe to be the driving force behind the speedy increases in health care costs....
Just for the record, you could ZERO OUT the military budget for this year and STILL have a deficit. We are pathetically profligate no matter which team you're on.
Really? It needs to be here? When you aren't having any "non-neutral net" problems?
Oh, and you need dozens of choices to make sure you have real competition, eh? Please to inform us as to what market your in where you DO have "dozens" of choices? Cell phones? Gas stations? Car companies? Brands of Tea?
Particularly given the expense of setting up your own lines, the fact that you think you should have dozens of choices is kind of nuts.
Verizon execs whine about it 4 YEARS AGO and yet here we are, still whining about net neutrality.... when is Verizon going to step on Google again? Let me know so I can DVR the fireworks.
Hmm, and Comcast (and others) have been royally excoriated for fucking around with BT and have generally backed off.
Hmm, and you are prevented from changing your DNS exactly how? How fucking hard is it to use OpenDNS?
This net neutrality bullshit is going to bite you idiots in the ass. If "not" neutral was a good idea WHY THE HELL ISN'T IT ACTIVELY BEING USED ALL OVER THE PLACE ALREADY?!??
(a) they don't have to go get a 'real job' for a few more years.
(b) they don't have anything better to do.
(c) it's just expected.
(d) they can get cheap health insurance as long as they're a student.
Sorry, but your average liberal arts college, while admirable for those who go for the right reasons, does not generally prepare someone for a career in "sociology" or "history".
You're seriously suggesting "love it or leave it" is a right-wing thing?? Did you fail to pay attention during the healthcare debate when you left-wingers were suggesting the same thing, to those of us (right/left/whatever) who thought Obamacare was a giant friggin joke?

Um, why would we want "total lawlessness"? That sounds like a recipe for Somalia or destructive anarchy. There's nothing remotely libertarian there.
I think you have only a silly internet troll's view of what libertarian philosophy actually suggests. Here's a hint: There's no single answer.
s/you're/your... silly.
We wouldn't come asking for aid. We'd offer to pay for it. And if you politely declined, we'd go somewhere else.
But more likely, we'd have contracts in place well beforehand to make sure "when things start to get tough" we'd have some backup.
I'm not sure what to do about you're really small mind, however.
Well, good to see that you're as clueless as most. You might consider /reading/ about the Seasteading Institute before masturbating to /.
One more strawman knocked down by the "philosophically stupid" Third Position.
Only if you've never read Friedman or never considered actual libertarian philosophy.
"inherently parasitic" is inherently stupid.
This guy seems to be wanting to coin the "idea" that "ideas are dead".
Maybe we should make a little less shit illegal. Then you don't have to arrest quite so many.
Start with drug legalization.

"its potential solutions."
What, you mean like ending the hideous and utterly failed drug 'war'?
You are ascribing way too much intelligence to an average American company.
Set it up as a honey pot? Let them have the guy's Twitter account, SS# and so on, as some sort of elaborate ruse? No frigging way.
Sure, the focus will be on AOL: Who? They have money? WTF?
But to me it's about two things:
1. Huffington Post was supposed to be some kind of independent voice. So much for that. Good job Arianna, sell your soul.
2. Really? We need f'ing government regulators to "approve" the sale? That's what our country has come to, huh?
Isn't a habbit that funny looking hat thing that hobbit nuns wear?
Give me a break.
Just guessing here, but I'd bet good money that granola crunching campers "cause" more global warming burning their frigging campfires.
And for those of us who like our hockey games live and in HD...

"Pro-business argument."
Say what? Does that mean Google and friends are not businesses?
You shmuck.

Thinking am hard, too, I guess.
Hmm, and if that was such a great idea by the big guys, WHY AREN'T THEY DOING IT ALREADY?

Eh, bull shit. Ultima III was better. What other game could you play with an Other Fuzzy Fighter in your party?
Yeah, because to a car company, nothing says PROFIT like a dead customer.
JFC....
No, many people get college degrees so
(a) they don't have to go get a 'real job' for a few more years.
(b) they don't have anything better to do.
(c) it's just expected.
(d) they can get cheap health insurance as long as they're a student.

Sure, but the difference that you are failing to grasp is that you don't HAVE to deal with a private company that wants your personal info.
You can, for instance, pay with cash (for how long, I wonder.....). You don't NEED a facebook account.
