We Need Net Neutrality

Because our marketplace is one of cronies and oligarchs, lobbyists and other thieves, it is inclined to monopolize anywhere it matures. This is going to be the way with the Internet too.

The United Negro College Fund told us that "A mind is a terrible thing to waste". I venture here that the Internet is an evolutionary development in the mind of human civilization. With the "level playing field" offered by the Internet over its first decade, innovation abounded and many great ideas were well-rewarded.

There were those who hoped that radio and television would enhance our knowledge. What happened to it?

There must be laws in place that ensure the free, un-hindered flow of information over the Internet. The stakes are too high for us to let what's happened to our radio-waves, happen to OUR Internet (we paid for the R+D to develop it).

This should be an election issue. The Incumbents in their so-called "Republican" party (it's NOT) need to be challenged in their war against knowledge.
