Did you see the “net neutrality” news
story on Feb. 26? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to take
over the Internet and regulate it as a public utility. It’s a classic case of “I’m
from the Government, and I’m here to help.” Ugh!
How soon before the Internet operates
with all the speed and efficiency of Amtrak or the Postal Service? I can’t
wait.
One of the FCC Commissioners who did
not vote for this naked power-grab, Ajit Pai, said that so-called net
neutrality is “a solution that won’t work to a problem that doesn’t exist.”
Here are some other observations,
culled from various Internet chatter over the last few days (and by the way, how
long before such open and honest chatter is labeled as hate speech and shut
down????).
“The administration that couldn’t run
a health care website just took over the Internet! What could possibly go wrong?”
“If the IRS can be used to target
political opponents, why not the FCC?”
“I’m not sure what the ‘net neutrality’
thing is all about, but if the Obama Administration and George Soros are for
it, I’m against it!”
“So if I understand it correctly, the
only thing the Democrat Party doesn’t want to regulate is abortion.”
“The government has to break the
Internet before it can fix it.”
“How long before you have to register
your website with the government? How long before bureaucrats regulate what you
can say on your website?”
“Get ready to pay a tax on every email
you send.”
