Textbook societal suicide pact

From: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/26/797415/-McCain-Gettin-All-Mavericky-on-Net-Neutrality

"On Thursday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) became the Republican Party’s lead man on technology issues (and probably made Glenn Beck a happy man) by introducing the "Internet Freedom Act." The legislation would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from making sure that Internet service providers don’t create a pay-for-play system where they could selectively block or slow content and applications. McCain called these net neutrality rules a "government takeover of the Internet.""

"...McCain was the top recipient of campaign contributions from the telecom industry, taking in $894,379 in the past two years."

Sure. Like the government has the authority to stop a business from putting up a toll booth just because they have a shop on the street.
