Wow. Net neutrality relates to safety nets - which we're taking apart as 
fast as possible in the US. The homeless on our street and elsewhere in 
NYC attest to that. There's not much mention of class in her discussion. 
The way it is here now - the rich get better healthcare - or get health- 
care period while the poor get barely nothing. Obama's healthcare bill 
didn't go very far and is being dismantled. Information should be free; 
it's not as if the owners of most, if not all, ISPs are suffering. In our 
lovely country the rich 1% now own 90% and if Wisconsin and other ugly 
admins get their way, they'll get the rest. Mike Davis wrote about 
enclaving decades ago in City of Quartz, and this pricing scheme is 
nothing but; god help us all if the rich can't get there tn^x broadband 
flooding smoothly.

People I know here, whatever, we're all hoping for a general strike out of 
Wisconsin. What we're afraid of is obviously settlement with a whimper, 
knocking the protests down into whittled compromise.
