How cute. Conservatives defend the "rights" of private corporations to abuse their customers while enjoying de facto monopoly status and use of the public right-of-way for putting down cable and equipment.

Conservatives are getting rope-a-doped on this issue. Net neutrality is a positive - keeping local ISP monopolies from roadblocking and/or throttling traffic.

Also applies to the iphone/ATT partnerships of the world, keeping them from tolling and/or blocking use of data in ways that threaten monopolies - think vonage, skype or Gtalk over the Iphone/ATT data connection — which still costs $70-100 or more per month.

Corporate greed is a misused and overused rant by the lefties of the world - but consumer protection is at play here.

Not cute. Many home school families fear vouchers because it allows the camels nose in. In IL there is almost zero regulation of home schooling.

Regulations never stop nor do the regulators. The same argument works with health care. It is not perfect, big companies dominate, but better to suffer a little, than a lot.

You know as well as anyone that more government = less liberty. Let the market work out the kinks.
