Net Neutrality

I listen to Glenn Beck and he recently is against "Net Neutrality". I have yet to understand why conservatives are against this. The only thing I can think of is that they don't want government intrusion, which I understand, but that isn't the thrust of the situation. This has to deal with corporations stopping other competing corporations. For example, I get Netflix and I stream movies to my computer. My cable company (internet provider) is also contemplating entering into the same market. What the Net Neutrality legislation is to correct is stopping my cable company "slowing down" Netflix or "Speeding Up" their service. If Netflix becomes so slow, I would switch to the cable company's offering. This is to stop anti-competative behavior. Most cable companies are monopolies and are already regulated. Net Neutrality is to force Internet Providers to not filter datastreams and showing favoritism for any reason, other than legal ones.

 

Am I missing something here? I don't want my cable company effectively limiting my choice of where I go on the internet. I don't want a faster stream to CNN than Fox News.

This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

I've only watched 20 minutes of this horror and I couldn't take it anymore. I felt myself losing IQ points. So, the shard falls (one of them, I find) and creates little robots. All is cool. They start shooting up the place. Can't the cube create nice little robots like the autobots or are they all gung-ho to kill everything? Bumblebee comes it to save the day, and all Shia can do is berate him for leaving the garage? And that girl....what an aweful performance. The script is worse than Star Wars at times without any of the redeeming qualities.

I don't know if I'll ever watch the rest.
