In reply to the discussion: I'd rather have my hair on fire than my head in the sand, when it comes to Corporate Power [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)I think you love the country as much as I do. But I also think you are rigid and closed minded and stuck on stereotypes of "leftists" and what you assume people want who criticize our esteemed leaders in DC.
First of all, the FCC doesn't have to rush anything through. The court did not tell the FCC it could not do anything. It told it it had to make certain changes to regulate certain things.
That is NO reason to rush to make bad policy like the one that has been proposed.
There are fairly straightforward classification steps that can be taken to make the Internet subject to regulation. Whether permanent or not, they would at least buy more time to come up wit something reasonable that protects the pubic interest in the long run.
There have been many discussions here (and elsewhere) about the alternatives to this. If you don't want to even consider the alternative ideas that have been made, fine. .....But don't then complain that no proposals have been made or that people who are critical of our esteemed leaders don't have any ideas.
