Yeah I agree with both of you. But the conversation digressed.
Crawford herself acknowledges this, arguing "America needs more people who can calmly and rationally oppose the free-marketeer rhetoric." What a loaded statement. And it shows a disconnect between her thinking and reality. The reality is that we don't have a free market when it comes to Internet access. Also she loads the statement by using the word 'marketeer' which insidiously implies overly exploitative intent. The opposite is true. We've been overly exploited by the Duopoly. If we had choice, we could more often choose the least exploitative provider.
Crawford's sweeping indictment of big business is unlikely to find a sympathetic ear among conservatives or libertarians. The article writer Timothy B. Lee is rather wrong here. Libertarians do not want or support government-backed big business.

Obama took an oath to uphold it, and he's been pissing all over it every chance he gets since day one in office. I'm not confused at all. There's a lot more to the Constitution than the 2nd amendment, which I happen to fully support as well. Both parties are very much responsible for ignoring the parts of it that they don't like. Their respective fan-bases just tend to give them a pass on it because they don't like those parts either, or just hate the other guys so much that they turn a blind eye and/or rationalize the hell out of it.

She's an opportunist looking to 'create jobs' regulating things when it wouldn't work and would cost a lot of money. I wonder what her conflicts of interests are in advocating further federal regulatory powers over the Internet when she herself was an adviser to Obama. Hmmmm. Let me guess...

the people could be ok, but the govt is a diabolical scam
and the problem is that people cant live without the govt... they just cant take care of themselves on their own The reason for that is we don't teach kids how to be personally responsible anymore. Now they're taught to be entitled with the hand out mentality. Thank you liberal educators, you've done such a bang up job at the useless department of education over the past 20+ years. |
