Hillary Rodham Rodham's statement that net neutrality is "so important to our democracy" doesn't make sense to me. The speed at which we receive content from various sources isn't important to democracy, as long as the speed is reasonable from all sources. It's the content itself that matters, and regulation of content could be the hidden agenda of the Senate democRATs: specifically, of course, extending McCain/Feingold regulations to cover all bloggers and websites at some time in the future. I believe the RATs are terrified as they watch their big liberal newspaper allies rapidly turning into just another group of large websites similar to FR, other major blog sites, and conservative magazine websites. The RATs are scared witless of a level playing field in the media that gives conservatives equal access to mass media.
This innocent looking start to web regulation could be ploy to ultimately extend McCain/Feingold restrictions on our 1st amendment rights to the web. This issue has to be watched very closely.
