The Face of Net Neutrality Captain America and Teapot lady ( Tax Day Tea Party D.C. 2010 pictures )
My Camera ^ | me

Posted on 04/18/2010 9:47:39 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

I only uploaded those pictures here which from what I have seen are unique. I am so glad I made the trip to the capital to attend this event. I will only put a handful of pictures on display here because they are so large, but feel free to use any of these. Browse my profile on take back usa for the rest of the photos.

After seeing this sign, I quietly hummed the teapot song to myself, I couldn't help it. This was incredibly creative.

Captain America's flag was so big he had to anchor it to his waist. Seriously, it was the biggest flag I saw that day.

I thought this to be highly clever. Net Neutrality is after all a way to silence us online, why not make it obvious?

This was also one of the most original things I saw. In another picture on my profile I got a closeup of what it says on his hat. Chicago registered voter since 1922.

This little girl was so cute. It's so sad that her sign is correct.

I'm highlighting this one simply because I'm hoping someone can translate this. What does quiznam restituo res publica mean? Is that latin?

The wheelchair and skeleton is awesome and should be parked in front of the White House.

Great Symbol of the premeditated genocide of the elderly in the current AuschwitzCare aka Genocide of the Elderly as plotted by and defined by the RATs in this Regime.

Research & Report on this Joker Vanderbough. This video is kind of like insurance, you decide what you believe

The provocateur, Mike Vanderbough (3 percenter) and organizer of the Armed March 4-19-10 in VA. (just across the river from DC). This same guy recently called for people throwing bricks through the Dem. Headquarters windows and helped the MSM in trying to label Patriot movement as violent is now calling for people to show up armed on 4-19-2010. He is from Alabama and admitted to me he has had a long term relationship with Morris Dees, founder of the SPLC. The same org. that is demonizing the Patriot’s, Tea Party, etc. Also, according to one source [snip]

Those are great! I love the dead voter. Here's one that was spotted in Spokane, Washington. Tea Partiers are so creative.

If your criticizing the boy with the tape on his mouth, you're correct, someone doesn't understand net neutrality . . . that someone is you. "Net neutrality" is the "Fairness Doctrine" for the internet.

Net neutrality is inherently anti-Constitution--anti-First Amendment.

I believe social media and email are two of the most powerful tools we have in countering the lies and spin.

Please forward these links to anyone who has been lied to by the media and politicians about the Tea Party Movement.

I’m waiting for comments critical of the use of children at these tea party protests.

Oh, that’s right, only liberals come in for such criticism.

To be fair, at least our kids are being educated, rather than indoctrinated, I guess...

There are a couple major definitions of net neutrality running around. The first is that the ISP shouldn't control, limit or give preference to any data stream over another. The biggest threat is when the user is trying to use a service in direct competition to the ISP's services, such as downloading (legal) Netflix movies over a cable modem, when the cable company would rather sell you their own pay per view. Without net neutrality the cable company would be able to slow down or entirely prevent your access to Netflix. I approve of this version. I'm paying my ISP for access to the whole internet, not part of the internet. Now this doesn't prevent the ISP from limiting bandwidth or total data transmitted, just that they must treat everything, even their own services, equally. If there was enough competition (like back in the days of thousands of dial-up ISPs) this wouldn't be needed because no ISP could do it without losing their customers. Most areas now have only two or three high speed access methods, and two are usually the phone and cable companies. Both have huge interests in you not downloading entertainment or using VOIP phones on their networks, even if they wouldn't care for another stream using exactly the same amount of bandwidth for a non-competetive usage.

The second definition is something I've never seen fully defined where the government gets control over what can be seen or not seen on the internet like China does. The Obama regime may be eager to get this amount of control, but I really don't consider this to be true net neutrality. The problem is the FCC will probably try to sell the control as the beneficial variety of net neutrality from my first definition.

To summarize, government control bad, ISP limitations also bad.

That wouldn't exactly be neutral now, would it? As soon as government, or any entity, gets to dictate content, then it is by definition not neutral anymore. I think there's a confusion between net neutrality and fairness doctrine.

If there was enough competition (like back in the days of thousands of dial-up ISPs) this wouldn't be needed because no ISP could do it without losing their customers.

Unfortunately, there isn't enough competition in many places. Much of this lack of competition is government-created.

"Net neutrality" is the "Fairness Doctrine" for the internet.

Net neutrality is carriers being content-neutral. Net neutrality effectively outlaws any fairness doctrine, which is not content-neutral. Call fairness doctrine for what it is, but it has no relation to net neutrality.

I have a feeling the telco astroturfing has been able to muddy the issue enough to confuse people who should be on the same side.
