Net neutrality isn’t a Democrat or a Republican issue… it is a fairness issue.

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Net neutrality isn’t a Democrat or a Republican issue… it is a fairness issue.

Net neutrality is just plain common sense. You pay for certain bandwidth and/or speed from your carrier, cable/phone/or other provider, and should be able to send, access and/or go wherever you want.

We pay taxes or tolls for our roads. Just think if the transportation department could tell you that only Fords and Toyota’s are NOT allowed on this road, with out their customers paying an additional toll or the manufacturer paying it for you, thereby forcing them to increase the price of their vehicle when they sell it to you…while GM and Honda get to drive on these roads.

Bandwidth/speed is the equivalent of a “weight limit” on the roads. Those who want basic service pay a “normal” license fee and “gas tax” for the use of the roads and drive our cars and SUVs accordingly. Those who need high speed or “heavier truck” loads, pay for more bandwidth or speed to suite their needs.

But I think it’s outrageous for government and/or profit making companies to now come in and argue they should not ONLY charge you for bandwidth, but also charge you extra to use streaming video, VOIP, send attachments or go to certain web pages because they CAN and profit from that. No one should be allowed to charge for the same product (bandwidth) twice, especially since it’s become such a basic part of our everyday lives.

We are paying for certain bandwidth and if our PAID FOR bandwidth can handle the service, let the user use it. NO censorship…NO new taxes…NO new revenue streams at the expense of the consumer.

It only seems logical that if you buy a certain amount of high-speed bandwidth, that you would get to use it any way you want. The hidden implication in AT&T charging you first for the bandwidth and then some one else again for a certain kind of data (content) is that the representation that you are buying the right to move your data at a certain speed is a falsehood. All content is data, and it technically makes no sense to identify one bit of data as Included in the bandwidth you buy and another as not included but due a transmission tax, just because the data is not controlled by the company that sold you the bandwidth.

Net neutrality is not only fair…it makes common sense. We should not let greedy companies profit even more by having government regulate away our current “net neutral” roadways because of their lobbying prowess, power or cash.

President Obama…You Scare Me!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA


Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.


You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.


You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.


You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.


You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.


You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core.


You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.


You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.


You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad.


You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of  the private sector.


You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.


You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.


You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest  standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.


You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.


You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.


You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.


You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.


Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8  years.
