    Ya... Not so big on the Robber Baron days. Never is a big word and you are flat wrong on that one..... Just ask Morgan, Rockafeller, AT&T, etc.

    I believe history shows America does believe in a fair playing field not an Aristocracy. That is what Net Neutrality gets us (if they implement it correctly).

    You may have drank the Kool-Aid here, but the .gov getting involved bodes poorly for us.

    ETA: Haven't you learned by now than any time this administration fails to provide the transparency in the process, as was promised during the original election campaign, it's always bad for us.
