Save the Internet (seriously)

Maybe I'm behind the times, because I know it's been in the news, but I never paid much attention to it until now.

Basically, the fuck wads in Congress want to give control of the internet to large corporations like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast.  This will basically destroy net neutrality.  4chan, and any other site worth looking at would probably be fucked for good.

So, guys please take a minute to stop fapping and sign the petition.  It only takes a few minutes at the most.

Here's the problem with your argument, that I see.

Considering that, I think it's pretty clear that AT&T is with the feds on this one, not their customers.  Ideally, we'd have nice telecom companies who WOULDN'T give away our personal information to massive government spying agencies...but yeah, it's not happening. 

I guess you could make an argument for targetting the NSA, rather than AT&T, for if there wasn't the NSA, I wouldn't have to worry about it to begin with, since AT&T wouldn't have anyone to give it to... but I don't know. 

If there's a historical trend, as disgusting as it is, it's that government programs and regulations breed more government programs and regulations.  Why? Because when the first government programs fuck up, it makes people support more government programs to patch up the fuck ups of the previous government programs. 

Take a look at the stock market crash of 1929.  It was purely resultant from the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, but people blamed it on Capitalism and freedom, and rather than repealing the disfunctional government programs, we instituted social security, and elected FDR.
