The problem is that the big ISPs want to pick what sites you can use.
... Want FR? Sorry, that's only available as part of our extended package.

That's complete bunk. The only thing the "big ISPs" want to do is charge more for bandwidth hogging content like streaming HD. Sites like FR that use 1/100 or 1/1000 of the bandwidth will not be throttled in any way.

It is only the agitators from the gimme crowd and the big streaming media outlets that want this "regulation".

No, it's not. The cable companies want to stand between you and content in the same way they do with television. I'm not in favor of new regulation I just think that if they are being given a monopoly they should not be able to use that as a way to control content.

You're wasting your air on the ignorant.

Deliberately ignorant.

All one has to do is develop some quick, pleasant talk which tugs the heart strings and these folks would turn over their liberty to you.

They are ignorant and they intend to stay that way.
