Pass ‘net neutrality’ so well-heeled can’t control the Internet

   From its beginnings, the Internet has leveled the playing field for all comers. Everyday people can have their voices heard by millions of people.
   “Net Neutrality” is a technical concept that protects this essential online freedom. It’s essentially the First Amendment for the Internet — allowing Web users to go where they want and do what they please online. Net Neutrality is why the Internet has become a revolutionary force for democracy, economic innovation and new ideas.
   Large cable and telephone are spending tens of millions of dollars to pressure Congress to pass a bill sponsored by Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska which kills Net Neutrality and allows the companies to control which Web sites get priority over everything else and which ones are left behind.
   Now, as the 109th Congress comes to a close, it’s incumbent upon Congress to heed the will of the public. Congress cannot pass telecommunications legislation without enforceable Net Neutrality protections.

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
