Of course, the response from this editor window allows me to type ahead by 20 words or so, and I can only make 40 wpm on my best days, but still... there isn't that much difference.<br /><br />I've given up on waiting for the world to end. It's taking too damned long, and we still have global warming to look forward to - if it ever gets here. Meantime, I'm going back to buying green bananas. <br /><br />Nice article Greybeard.

While writing that last night, I looked up some of the stuff I've written on Net Neutrality since 2010. Obama had this guy in the FCC named Robert McChesney who founded something called "Free Press". Like all Marxist organizations, the name is exactly opposite of what it wants. "Free Press" wants government control of of the press - think Pravda and Izvestia from the Soviet days.<br /><br />In the buildup to getting Net Neutrality passed this guy actually said, <b>"At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control." </b><br /><br />And this was <b>before</b> the openly, adamantly socialist types like Sanders and Occasional Cortex. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-30435800646716121692018-12-19T01:44:41.666-05:002018-12-19T01:44:41.666-05:00+1 to LL.

The very concept runs foul of my basic default setting to explore everything before arriving at a decision.
