While part of me isn't surprised, if both Comcast and she gets away with this without repercussions, I'm going to be seriously disgusted...
edit: Actually a question comes to mind. What can we as the voting/etc public do to make our will felt in this scenario? With the parties involved I don't know of a way and that really, really irks me.
- stretchwithme 15y agoIn a free society, you make your own choices and live with the consequences. But when government has its fingers in every pie, we all have to "make our will known" about every freakin' pie. And then watch as it is ignored because there are way too many pies for people to notice everything everyone is saying about every pie. But each pie is of special concern to some well-monied interest and they will make their views known to those stuffing their pie holes.

- stretchwithme 15y agoSo the problem is that government is making non-meaningful regulations? And is regulating in a non-meaningful way? What would give their activities meaning? And how do you define clap-trap?
- eschulte 15y agoThat's a really good question. I don't know what specific action American voters could take. After some searching the best I could find is this group (http://www.citizen.org/ http://www.citizen.org/), which seems to be a non-profit working in the general area of disentangling government/corporate interests.
