Net Neutrality and why you should be afraid.


"Net Neutrality".

There is yet another quiet war raging these days, I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that we start giving a shit about it. The problem my fellow humans are motherfuckers. Motherfuckers that are afraid of the Internet. More specifically, rich motherfuckers that are kicking themselves for not taking full advantage of the miracle that is the Internet. The same motherfuckers that run huge telecom companies, grease the palms of politicians (not naming names Newt) and try to fuck up all the fun people are having on the Internet. They want to quadruple charge us for anything we like to do on the Internet. They want us to pay membership fees, services fees, premium package fees, annual fees, late fees, reconnect fees, disconnect fees, fuck-you-we're-a-monopoly fees, etc. If they had it their way they'd collect all these fees, then give the government all your private information (a service for which you'll be taxed to pay for), and then use the money you give them to fund research & develop in hopes of finding more and more ways to fuck us all over.

Only a stingy technophobe piece of shit would support any legislation that would lead to clamping down, segregating, spying on, or letting the gov't generally fuck up the Internet. Please people, read up on this shit, it's not that complicated, then get really pissed off. Instead of posting one more forum flame, smack-talking someones fantasy beach-volleyball team or sharing that special 'kinda' funny story about your friend Megan, please take a few minutes out of you busy schedules and take a look at a site like this. To be completely honest, there's still time. These guys don't have a good enough reason to do it publicly, so they are looking for sneaky fucker ways do it on the down-low. Just a few days ago a bunch of Federal Investigators were let go because someone snuck in a few sentences giving the President the ability to do it into the Patriot Act. These people are ruthless, have armies of lawyers, lobbyists and golfing buddies in D.C. If you won't do it for me or yourselves, at least do it for the free pictures of naked people. I guarantee you'll miss them when they're gone.
