As I said in another thread.. making laws based on morality is bad -- very bad if you happen not to be in the majority.
This rising battle about the internet.. is huge issue and one the public, so far, doesn't much seem to care about. Part of this is due to a lack of caring by the media -- in fact the media may well support a tiered internet. Make no mistake, things like TV and net exist not to entertain us or make our lives "better", but as mediums for folks to make money.
Yes, I'm feeling overly cynical today.
