How can it be a bad thing?

I'm all for less government intervention in most things, but let's be real -- the government has helped create the ISP monopolies that currently exist, and "Net Neutrality" strikes me as an intrusive shell game... Hoping I'm wrong. How do we get back to real competition and value for our money? .

They are likely taking a cue from Brazil, in an effort to promote domestic enterprise.

From Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley, Aug. 22, 1862: "If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it..." Although Lincoln did believe: "...my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free." it was obviously not his main motivation in the Civil war.

Doesn't matter who's fault it is...
who started privacy abuses,
what party is/was in power.


There is something going terribly wrong here.

We, as Americans,
have obviously slid quite a little way down the slippery slope,
toward something quite different than the bastion of freedom we like to think of ourselves as...

We should be doing something more about it than pointing fingers and playing politics.

Is it just in France, all of Europe, or is the whole world becoming money-grabbers? It seems the Europeans like to sue the successful companies (unfair business practices) and now "surcharge" them by proxy.

When I read a couple years ago that a strike had killed "mostly" militants, then the next day bombed everyone at the funeral... I felt suddenly empty. Who in their right mind would NOT think badly of the country responsible?

I love my country and consider myself quite patriotic, but these drone attacks are shameful. They should be stopped. Aside from the obvious moral imperative, there is the practicality of it: every time we kill another "al-Qaeda #2" with these cowardly half-blind strikes from the sky we create many more enemies.

Why do I hear so little protest here in the US? What can the average Joe do to raise hell about it?
And where is the press on all this? I'm tired of hearing about Mitt Romney's taxes and President Obama's birth certificate. Let's get real.

We've met the enemy...
