Net Neutrality - Sign the Petition

Given that this website depends on bandwidth - and lots of it - this is important. If we were metered or forced to the slow lane, it would impact significantly with our ability to stay in touch with each other.

I signed it and sent it in, though it is a bit optimistic to think my Congressclown can read it, will read it and will care about it. I think this one, like nearly everything else will go on partisan lines.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

I'm not optimistic either - the responses I got the last time this came up were absolutely depressing in their lack of understanding of how the internet works. I'm doing this for my grandkids - I want to say, "At least, I tried."

As a guy whose day gig depends on the internet way beyond just the web, screw everything about this.

This will percolate through the economy in ways most people can't even imagine yet.
