  1. Comment - Net Neutrality Measure Fails in House

    (Jun 10, 2006 - 4:06 AM)

    >>>"The "American Dream" will not "die" (or even get close to it) just because net neutrality ends."

    Yes, you are right, there are about a dozen reasons the American Dream is dead - it's not just because net neutrality ended.

    >>>"I'll love to see the position of President of the United States outsourced."

    I nominate Ariana Huffington !!

    >>>"If you're so experienced, then surely you know that internet is spelled as Internet and you know the difference between them."

    No, I actually didn't know that the internet is supposed to be capitalized - thanks for the tip. That's just the sort of thing that computer science majors learn in college and thank God I didn't get a degree because I'd just now be getting out of college - only to learn that the internet revolution is over. Instead I skipped college, learned everything online and made millions with online advertising - before it was too late - before they killed the net. When I look down on all the little people while I'm swilling cognac in my East Manhattan high rise apartment, perhaps I'll be glad that net neutrality was killed - because I can afford to pay pay off AT&T while all the little guys get squished (insert evil laughter here).

    I'm a computer programmer, webdeveloper and SEO - I know from experience that running a successful online business is very hard - now it will be impossible for you - probably not for me.

    These days, everything is being outsourced and internet was the last refuge of free enterprise. The internet was a place where you could compete - the competition was tough - but you could still compete - now the only internet players that will matter are the ones with millions of dollars to play with.

    Who knows? Maybe I will survive because of my years experience in the field - but the end of net neutrality equals the end for the plucky newcomers - the American dream is virtually dead for you. What now, America? What pipe dream are you going to sell the American people now? Because the internet is off the list.

    You need to organize some sort of boycott and you need to get smart and quit buying crap you don't really need from these monster corporations. Quit buying crap. And while you're at it - grow your own food if you can - after the economy nosedives, you'll be glad you picked up some gardening skills.
