At Wired, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has posted his take on net neutrality. He lays the problem at the feet of the large ISPs.
The argument was that the early progressives were not acting out of moral beliefs. I showed that's not true.
The Scotsman can't protect you from The Federalist's misrepresentation. It's funny that you would cite a logical fallacy in order to defend an ad hominem attack ("Progressives were never moral!")

Fusion would break the stranglehold of petro-exporting countries in the Middle East as well as belligerent exporters like Russia and Iran.
Then? The Banking vampire elite will need to generate new, ethnically-rationalized hate-conflict to keep us all at each other's throats - instead of removing their boot from our collective face.

A little problem with the thesis are people like Jane Adams, Fr. John Ryan and Dorothy Day. Economists like Henry George. What was it, like 1907 when Walter Rauschenbusch published "Christianity and the Social Crisis". Organizations like the YMCA and the Salvation Army came out of the Christian progressive movement.
It was called the "social gospel" and was very much moral in nature. Even going back to Pope Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical, Rerum Novarum, you had a groundwork on purely moral grounds for a progressive movement. Leo talked about how capital and labor must to find a humane path for capitalism that respected workers and avoided the extremes of both socialism and laissez-faire conservatism. Just the fact that the Pontiff mentioned "labor" must have sent a chill through the blood of the robber barons in the gilded age.
But go ahead and hang on to your "godless progressives" meme if it helps you sleep at night. It's pretty easy to keep your nose in "The Federalist" and never know any of those things.
The internet does not qualify as "a civilization". And certainly it is possible for civilization to have commerce without the Internet, don't you think? Somehow, people managed before 1980.
I am willing to bet that at least by 1982 someone had sold a physical object to another usenet poster.
A swap meet is one thing. A job board, "for sale" signs, no problem.
Commercial uses of the Internet were prohibited until 1995 when the NSF ended its sponsorship of the backbone and turned it over to commercial services.
Hey, thanks for that, Mr AC. I didn't know about I2P.

Ain't he that four-star prospect whose tearing up triple-A in the Cubs farm system? I saw him play with Iowa and he's a terrific-looking second baseman who can hit for power.
I didn't know he's a comedian too.
Or the US Constitution.
Play fair.
How is it that on a story like this I'm the only one making goatse jokes?
