Yep, once something's been enshrined in law, it's automatically moral and just. I defy anybody to come up with even a single counterexample.

Clearly the free market concept doesn't work and must be abandoned. Just look at the Utopian societies that developed in Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea and Eastern Europe when they cast off the shackles of capitalism.
Sounds good... until you read what democratic senator Al Franken actually said about Net Neutrality: "how long would it take before the Fox News website loads significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website?"
Ummm... if that's what "net neutrality" means - that every website must load at or about the same speed - take my name off the petition. On today's internet, Fox News can purchase space on a CDN, for example, that will allow them to load significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website. I can't even think of a scenario where the U.S. federal government dictating how bandwidth may be allocated and sold could lead to anything good.
Yep, as long as a group has historically not been discriminated against, they can never be discriminated against.
Yeah, when I hear somebody say "torture", my mind immediately goes to medieval stuff like pulling fingernails, thumbscrews, the rack... so when I first heard that US troops were "torturing" POWs in Guantanamo, I thought, "This is terrible! America doesn't do that sort of thing! We're better than that!"
So a few weeks later, the details started to emerge - the first "torture" I heard that they had applied was... flushing pages of the Koran down the toilet.
Seriously? Maybe we need to clarify terminology here a bit.
Umm... why didn't you just get a certificate for *.domain.com, then?
This line about respecting precedent is the foundation of a free society
FTFY.
Hm - do you happen to know who the author of the book was? I'd like to take a look, but I can't find any info on it anywhere; Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon all want to tell me about the company "Peoplesoft", not the book.
