Net neutrality is about bandwidth, not content. It has to deal with "last mile" providers blocking or slowing content from competitors, etc. Net neutrality would, for example, make it illegal for Comcast to selectively restrict access to bittorent sites or to slow Vonage traffic because it competes with their digital voice package. Net neutrality isn't about making the Internet "fair and balanced" from a content perspective. Anonguy–

Both my cellphone service and my wireless connection are having very low signals, probably due to the insane amount of people at the rally texting and calling people. On my way home coming up Hastings via Lake Jackson, there were people parking on the courts/roads that are off Hastings and walking towards the fair grounds. Cops were posted at all the 4 way stops. Helicopters have been hovering all evening. What fun!!! I have to head out of here in a few for a meeting, so we will see how it is to leave here and we'll see how much horrible it is to try to make it back in time for the game.

Part of the efforts to silence dissent liberal dems are trying to implemenrt, include "net neutrality". Under the current proposed plan, Greg will be forced to install a side-bar, which pulls feeds from liberal sites, to allow free access to the other side. Or he'll be forced to allow the likes of Allana to post articles as top threads. Scary, but I think Greg would rather retire than surrender. The end result would be the same: silencing all dissent.

Obamazombies are everywhere holding up signs, blocking vehicular and foot traffic...basically annoying people. Combine that with the traffic snarls from the rally, and I am thinking this might have the opposite effect on voters, than what the Obamamaniacs had hoped. I think this will mobilize McCain voters to turn out, and might push the few undecideds into McCains camp. I just got back from Old Town Manassas.
