Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality 873
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Register, Senator Diane Feinstein is attempting to put language into the stimulus bill that would kill net neutrality. The amendment that her provision was attached to was withdrawn, but lobbyists tell Public Knowledge that Feinstein hopes to put it back into the bill during the closed-door conference committee that reconciles the House and Senate versions." Bad Senator! No Cookie!

I mean, I thought it was the Republicans who were destroying America and the Democrats were going to save us? You mean to tell me that they are all beholden to business interests? Say it it isn't so!

Yep, by their own admission, in fact. I'm not sure how it happened, but I ended up on the RNC mailing list. The lastest message from Michael Steele (RNC chair) said, "The battle is joined. As you all know, the Republican Party is unified in our opposition [to the stimulus]"
This is a common republican theme: we are unified, and we fight. Sounds like mindless automatons to me...

It's amazing the power corporations have, isn't it? I mean, look how they have systematically expanded work hours, reduced health and safety regulations, put more children to work, and ramped up their pollution over the last 100 years. If only there were some way to force corporations to advertise truthfully, label accurately, and honor the contracts they enter into.
And the political system is obviously corrupt. It's the only plausible explanation for how a candidate gets elected whom I dislike.
If only we changed the entire system of public and private enterprise, the world would finally be the way it should be--exactly how I want it!
